Clinton Would Crack Down On Game Content 543

thefickler sends us word that Hilary Clinton has taken a public stand in favor of shielding children from game and other animation content that she deems inappropriate. Quote: "When I am president, I will work to protect children from inappropriate video game content." Politically, this puts her in company with Republican Mitt Romney on the subject of game censorship. Her fellow Democrats are content to let the industry self-regulate.

Sadly, I would say that a reduced death rate on the highway would not be an improvement for the gene pool. It's true that about half the people killed on the road are innocent, or at least in the wrong place at the wrong time, but the other half are instigators and poor drivers that make the world a dangerous place through their inability to make good decisions. Since we can't just up and kill someone for needin' it anymore, the highway is the last place we can expect those folks to pass on without living for another 70 years, and ruining the world for the rest of us.

ps. For the humor impaired, the above is at least 70% tongue in cheek. I'd welcome a good law allowing us to vote people dead, though.
