Dan,
Well, a point of agreement is always a place to start.=20
Now, let's move that point of agreement one step further. I'm going to =
substitute "video games" with education/schooling:=20
When these questions arise, I always revert back to the question: =
whose jurisdiction is it? In the case of children's education, it is the =
jurisdiction, authority, and responsibility of the parents to deal with =
such matters.=20
"Society" deals with the consequences of both good parenting and bad =
educational choices. However, it is not up to society to legislatively =
intervene because of a few bad apples.=20
The typical knee-jerk reaction is to object to a few and to pass =
legislation that forces parents to conform to our preferences.=20
However, in a "free" society with freedoms and responsibilities, the =
authority needs to remain with the governing jurisdiction.=20
So the jurisdiction, authority, and responsibility of education rests =
with the parents -- for good or bad. Does that mean everyone must =
homeschool? Clearly not; but the responsibility lies with the =
foundational jurisdiction -- for good or ill.=20
Thoughts? =20
Best,
Dale
