Good points, Lancer. Video game "violence" is just the latest in the long
unbroken chain of human denial about the real cause of violence. That's easy
to find, people just need to look in the mirror. People will always find
some external thing to blame and refuse to face the fact that things are
just things, it's only when you add the variable "human being" that the
blood starts to flow.
