Hey David,

If this one is real then the remote controll up the backside can't represent 
the epitomie of health.

I also have a very strong intuition that in the same way that a factory 
owner might think that a production ratio of 1:350 translates directly into 
a higher standerd of living for the whole population, the assumptions 
burried in many "violent" style games might lead to more cavalier attitudes 
about already harry situations, burning the whole village just like clearing 
the level and such.
If you went out and shot 12 deer today do you have any idea how that might 
affect the local population?
Killings fine, these games are susposed to be about things you'd not ever 
get to do personally ah la the fantasy or fiction (science) componet, but 
killing for nothing else but a visceral rush over and over again with no 
effect on the enviroment, no reprecussions, no drain on resources?
