Violent video games and Hillary Clinton...

Read this in a CGW (Computer Gamming World) mag. It was an interview with American McGee. He was the man behind the hit game "American Mcgees' Alice" and he is comming out with a sweet game called "Bad Day LA American McGee". He was asked here about his new game being violent and how violent video games are taking a hit right now...

Start of article clip
******************************

CGW: But don't you think that you're just giving ammunition to the Hillary Clintons and the Jack Thompsons' of the world? They'll wind up attacking you.

AM: You know what? I hope they do. This game was born out of my fustrations. This game deals with the political nature of fear, of the war, of race issues, of all these things today. I would like nothing more than to go on television with Hillary Clinton and look her in the eye and go, "Wait a second. You want to tell me that you want to ban my videogame - or you don't accept the fact that its' available for people who are 18 and over - and yet you go on record saying you want to send more kids to Iraq? And they start enlisting before they're 17 years old - befoe they can even buy a videogame where we simulate violence, you want to send them off to war?"

Thank you lower court judges!

Federal law enforcement attempts to use cell phones as tracking devices were rebuked twice this month by lower court judges, who say the government cannot get real time tracking information on citizens without showing probable cause.

This summer, Department of Justice officials separately asked judges from Texas and Long Island, New York to sign off on orders to cellular phone service providers compelling them to turn over phone records and location information -- in real time -- on two different individuals.

Joe:
Good...bastards don't need to do this! Im telling you all! Watch a sci-fi movie about the future and how the government is controling everything people do (Big Brother) and this is where we are heading.

And to those of you who voted W in...
I don't want to ever hear u fuckers bitch about what is going on (gas, war, etc.) because you helped this to happen!
