There is no “Government Legislation” in Parental Responsibility

Just as there is no “I” in team or ice in hot tea, government legislation has little business trying to substitute the responsibility of parents with laws.

In an article by GameDaily, the New York state senate passed a video game bill, SO5888, sponsored by Senator Andrew Lanza (R-I, Staten Island), which seeks to:

“[E]stablish an Advisory Council on Interactive Media and Youth Violence to review the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB) rating system and its effectiveness, as well as recommend further steps that can be taken “to curb children’s access and exposure to ‘adult-only’ material.”

This leads me to think that this is not as much an issue of free speech here as it is an insult to the efforts of the ESRB.
