Is that the norm for latchkey and single parent kids these days ? Gangs, crank, etc... That is the threat for most single and latchkey parents, not libertarian nostrums about 'censorship' or 'nanny state'. And it's getting worse.

Look, if you libertarians want us to become like Holland, well fine. Most Americans don't and they put GWB back in the White House.

Uh-huh. And Bush pushed to have these games removed how? I see, he didn't. Because he doesn't want to be your kids' daddy.

I must have missed the part of W's platform where he calls for censorship of video games. Perhaps you'd be happier with a party that believes it takes a village to raise a child.

But why is that the norm? Kids form up into gangs to get a sense of identity and, self-worth and belonging. And youth gangs aren't a new invention, they existed when I was a latchkey kid, they even existed when my mom was a latchkey kid. Good parents that give their kids a proper environment to grow up in can keep their kids away from these problems.

I'm not a libertarian and I don't want us to become like Holland. But I also don't want us to become like Indonesia either. I'm one of the people that put GWB back in the White House, but I didn't see forcing adults to live in a world tailored for children in his platform, maybe you can point it out to me.
