Well I guess that this is a signal that there are no other crime, economic, or safety concerns left in michigan. It should now be a utopia.
(meanwhile, the festering wound known as detroit keeps rotting away...glad to see they have their priorities straight.)

"New Laws to Protect Children From"
By that point, my liberal insanity filter kicked in and I couldn't see the rest of the article.

Read the fine print:
The legislation she proposes actually mandates that all children be aborted in order to prevent them from witnessing such games down the road.

My township supervisor is a democrat. On election day I talked to him outside the polling place and he said "That woman is a moron" I voted for him.

Now, If some kid comes up to me in a parking lot and presses some money into my hand to get him the latest Grand Theft Auto game, am I breaking the law by getting it for him?

It's always great to see a fearless politician get right out front on a controversial issue like this.

This is where liberal insanity meets the conservative brand - more government is fine and dandy so long as it's "for the children."

A liberal once told me that NASCAR should be outlawed because it promotes reckless driving.

So very true. Such "Conservatives of Convenience", as I call them, should really rethink their ludicrously liberal position on subjects like this.

does anyone remeber when they first started proposeing ratings for video games a lot of us on freerepublic said it was a bad idea because it would lead to legislation like this but we were tinfoil hat conspiracy moonbats becaeuse the ratings for video games were volantary not legislatd so theres no way pols would get into making laws agaisnt selling these games to anyone the reason the video game industry adopted these ratingsd is to avoid legislation who was right and who was wrong ?

I am a bit disturbed by young children being able to walk into a store and buy such games themselves.
I don't care if parents choose to buy games rated mature for their children, because I don't buy into the hype that these games cause violence. However, I do think those decisions should be up to the parents, so they shouldn't be selling those games directly to kids.
I however doubt anything good will come from the government getting involved.

Correct me if I'm wrong, guys--didn't she veto the Partial Birth Abortion Act, which was overwhelmingly supported by Michiganders?
She. Must. Go.

"Making sure that our children are protected is an essential function of government,"
Uuuum. Actually.. that would be PARENTS.
Parents are responsible for that.
Oops, I put the words "responsible" and "parent" in the same sentence... how insensetive of me.
