Just want to preface my post by saying I am stealing that line. Brilliant.

This really has nothing to do with video games, per se. It's really about generational distrust and even fear. The same thing happened with Elvis Presley and the birth of Rock and Roll.

Parents will always worry about their children, or young people by extention. They try and teach them how to be good people, and without perspective they can believe that if the children do not do EXACTLY what they think is right, the kids are destroying the world.

The reality is, every generation distrusts the generation after it, and in end end the world keeps turning and everything turns out fine, regardless of any bumps along the road.
