Sure it's just a proposal...for now. Just wait a decade or so we'll see how far the politicians have made inroads in restricting media forms, including games

Who cares? It's Texas; they're primitive; half of them don't even use electricity unless they're in the chair =)

I highly doubt that a 100% tax on videogames will make it to the North. Though I do like his sort of thought in some ways. Personally I do not see videogames as undesirable, or abortion. However, Soda (or soft drinks/pop as we call them in the North) with added sugar are something I agree should be taxed heavily. I also feel that food with certain levels of other unhealthy additives should also be heavily taxed; that includes fast food. I like taxes, just put them on the right things.

EDIT

On second thought, perhaps some games should be taxed. Like Civilization 4, damn! That game is unhealthily addictive! =P

I'm not worried about a "long shot" primary candidate. Any random jackass can be a long shot in a primary.

Maybe I'll send him a case of IBC Root Beer, a gift certificate to Jack In The Box, and a free copy of Hitman to show my support for his candidacy...

a gift certificate to Jack In The Box

Hey, he's not the nut who wants to tax fast food to extreme levels. I am that nut =)

Jello Biafra ran for President in 2000. One of his proposals was to lower the voting age to five. Does that mean that the voting age is now five? No. He didn't win and it's a stupid idea in the first place.

Zeus, quit bitching about some legal nutjob's wet dream every time GameSpot puts it out on the news. Hell, all GameSpot is doing is add more popularity to this unknown guy.

I'd think it would subtract from his popularity, but that's just me.
