More people die over a sports match than they do over a video game, quite frankly.<BR/><BR/>And uusally in bars. When their team loses. Have you ever seen what the UK's like when they lose the World Cup?<BR/><BR/>In other words, they lied.<BR/><BR/>And given this is an entertainment form I care deeply about and am very active in, I am not at all pleased by their vitriol.<BR/><BR/>As you say, however, we can't always find the candidates that share our passions. I only ask that they at least try to tell the truth, warts and all.<BR/><BR/>In this regard, Hillary failed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16958083.post-86663769914459085282008-07-03T22:38:00.000+08:002008-07-03T22:38:00.000+08:00it would be nice if we can find all the qualities ...it would be nice if we can find all the qualities we are looking for in one candidate, but we know that's not possible. <BR/><BR/>it would be great if candidates share our advocacies and our passions, but we also know that's not possible 100% of the time.<BR/><BR/>So i guess we just take the best and worst in a candidate and accept that choosing candidates is a leap of faith indeed...<BR/><BR/>it's intensely personal; and when you lose faith... i guess that's it. <BR/><BR/>sorry you lost yours. :)Bong C.

Then again aren't they all?<BR/><BR/>Besides, keeping violent games out of a kids' reach is supposed to be the parent's responsibility. Having the government clamp down on it as they please reeks of censorship.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
