On protecting our children

Dear readers,

This week, California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger vowed to appeal a federal court ruling which overturned a ban on selling violent video games to children. All the blood and destruction with which our nation's youth are bombarded, including the salacious tripe known as Iraq war coverage, has done nothing but desensitize them and strip away their innocence. How are we to train the next generation of professional sadists if a stiletto heel to the scrotum isn't in the least titillatingly taboo? To that end, I commend Gov. Schwarzenegger on his efforts and offer this heartfelt tribute to his patriotism and sensitivity.
