 I'm sorry Prez, but I couldnt disagree more.

I think we are singing from different pages of music here. You are talking about the government passing laws to protect consumers and employees from corporate abuses (Enron and Worldcom.)

I am referring to things like government oversight and enforcement of things like the Games rating system, penalties for publisher violations (as in the Take2/Hot Coffee debacle), and content restriction.

 Im sorry Prez, but I couldnt disagree more. Like you said Government exists to serve people, and in todays corporate age "ordinary" people need the most protection from corporate entities. The Government shouldnt have to interfere but there should be laws and institutions in place to prevent corporations from becoming abusive in their power. Unfortunately this hasnt exactly been the case so far....

 I don't necessarily have a problem with legislation pertaining to videogames in principle. What I have a huge problem with is government regulation of private industry (with a couple of notable exceptions). Government exists to serve people, not superimpose itself into every facet of peoples' lives.

 Id have to disagree, video game legislation is very important just like every other legislation, if for no other reason than to protect the consumer.

 I think video game legislation is the least of anyone's current worries within America.

Laissez-faire my ass.
