and so it goes

I read an article today about a new clinic that is opening up to help people who are addicted to video games.
man......I just don't get it.
I mean, I like a good fun video game challenge once in a while...but to become addicted?

Now, I am not anti games....however, just like anything......we should use things with control and with moderation. Kids need chores, rules, and time to develop talents. What is that kid going to offer the world when they are out on their own? What will he/she offer to their family when they get married?

A talent ay killing mutants? I don't think so.
