Everything that shifts the responsibility from the parents is a possible scapegoat, so they won't have to face the fact that it was their own fault that little Johny can't distinguish reality from fiction on the screen. As to politicians (and the Pope, perhaps), they've learned to profit on this kind of stuff. They make games/music/films a threat so to have an enemy to fight against and prove themselves to their audience. Other than that, i sincerely doubt any of them really takes some time to understand what they are attacking. "hey, there's blood in it, so its good for bashing". No one cares if Johny sees disemboweled people dying in Iraq on the news. No one cares if the world *is* indeed a violent place. They just want to profit from the destruction of a threat of their own creation. I remember buying my first computer-related mag in 1995. The cover story was something like violence in computer games degrading our kids minds - true or false. Fear sells.[/quote]
