If you look at the proposal there is a number of truck sized loop holes. First off what "prevailing standards" in the adult community (i mean governors with prostitutes, bill clinton, corrupt cops, etc etc), and who set up these standards, I am 21 years old, thus I have been a legal adult in this country for 3 years now and not once have I been asked to give my feelings or input as an adult on such things. Secondly, and this is the big one, part of number 4: "lacks serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value for minors". Now on this all one has to do is prove that even the most violent of video games, or most controversial, has some sort of "value". For example, the manhunt series, aside from being an overly bloody version of Arnold's "The Running Man", does have a somewhat of thought provoking story, for example *spoilers* why is Cash put where he is by the Director, and what sort of person would do such a thing, and for what reason. Get someone to defend something well enough and through our joke err i mean exceedingly just justice system and anything can get around this "law"
