have we met? I think the issues faced in this country are much larger than just comics from the 1950s, or violence in our multimedia, or lack of gun control. You know one issue I notice though is the gaming folks are no different then the gun folks. It is about the individual not the collective and they are not even willing to entertain the idea that there are issues that should be looked at. I guess with that logic porn doesn't create negative treatment towards women. I guess certain rap music doesn't create a negative stereotype either because I was able to listen to easy e and NWA and I was certainly not mean to women. Were others though hmmmmm?
