Missouri Bill Would TAX Video Games that Depict 'Violence'

Nothing like those baby-boomers who were all for freedom of expression long, long ago. Again, we must note that a video game, a movie, a book or piece or music or painting CANNOT be VIOLENT unto itself! They are depictions, or all kinds of things, and do not bring direct harm to another person. The very term "violent video game" is erroneous and works to prejudice people before the argument is even engaged.

Also, we must note that as video games have become more and more popular, violent crime in the US has DROPPED. There is no way to prove causation, but the correlation is very strong. In no way can a politician claim that videos that depict violence lead to violent acts on the part of real people.
