   This bill is so hypocritical, given the WALL-TO-WALL GLORIFICATION OF   
   VIOLENCE in so much of US-dominated western culture!!   
      
   Only today I heard a programme on the radio about the increasing spread   
   of psychotic computer games, involving imaginary murders. These murders   
   are of an 'overkill' variety, i.e. the 'people' 'come alive again' so   
   that they can be murdered again.   
      
   Of course, the BBC didn't call this culture 'psychotic' at all. On the   
   contrary, they presented it as an admirable 'yoof' thing, the call of   
   the lovely future...   
      
   Guess who's the biggest maker of such sick shit? Answer: the US armed   
   forces. They want to control both 'real' reality and 'unreal' reality -   
   geddit? Although of course, the 'unreal' reality is actually part of the   
   sick 'real' reality...   
      
   This kind of disgusting shit is MASSIVE in South Korea, where organised   
   criminals sell software 'weapons' for use in the 'games'.   
      
   There is a push to make it massive in the West too.   
      
   One of the guys marketing it was comparing it with early cinema, around   
   1910, I think he said.   
      
   Think of the kind of social conditions the rulers want to be predominant   
   in the future - and I am talking about the NEAR future. It should make   
   you want to shudder...and then...it should make you want to rise up in   
   the streets and overthrow the whole caboodle once and for all...   
      
   By the time they are 18, the 'average' child in the US has watched 2-3   
   simulated murders PER DAY. What sickness! What completely fucked-up   
   conditions abound! Is this what you want? Or is it just that you think   
   nothing can be done about it? What solution could there possibly be,   
   other than revolution?
