After many anti-gaming bills falling through in many states in US, there is some not-so-good news. Anti-game crusaders - Democrats Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut, Hillary Clinton of New York and Dick Durbin of Illinois successfully persuaded a Senate committee to approve a sweeping study of what it called - the 'impact of electronic media use' to be organized by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC.
CDC? Disease control? What the heck?!
Anyway even though the legislation - called the Children and Media Research Advancement Act - does not include restrictions, the motive behind this appears to be finding a way to justify them. That's because a string of court decisions have been striking down anti-gaming laws because of a lack of hard evidence that kids are influenced and harmed by violence in video games.
