It got my boy away from the computer and the TV and back into books! For that alone I am thankful. The end does not always justify the means.

That is true but it got him interested in reading.... Now I can buy him books and steer his reading in good directions. He is now a voracious reader and has read his way through half my considerable library (over 2500 books at last count). He reading level has improved to a point where I would put him up against a college junior. His vocabulary is that of some one far exceeding his 15 years of age and hes is reading Everything in my library....including my philosophy,history,physics,math,religious and other books.
And he is generally plowing through them at a rate of 1 a week.... THAT is impressive as far as I'm concerned and in this instance the end HAS justified the means.
