Say one thing for video games, say that at least they engage the player in a meaningful way. Were I to ever have children, I would definitely more often plop them down with a video game than allow their brains to rot away in front of the 90% of absolute shit that television produces. In this American society that fervently encourages "goal oriented thinking", one would rationalize that gaming would not be demonized to the extent that it currently is. The reason for this is mostly due to that other, all-too-American trait: Ignorance.
