Violent Video Game Law Struck Down [Slashdot]  There is little appreciation for the power of modeling on the behaviour of children and the responsiblity entailed in promoting violent approaches to human conflicts.  For some the profits of sensationalism are more important than the death and distruction that necessarily follows from usage of violent video games.  Some of the problem is because the legal system is based on an inaccurate prescientific conception of human decison making and behavior that affords too much responsiblity to individual rational choice and too little responsiblity to the situational vairiables (in this case violent video games).  -- BL 2:46:17 PM      .
