Video games are getting the short end of the stick compared to other media nowadays , most likely a result of it being the youngest.

That's a fair point. The generation gap makes a big difference, and older people are naturally more suspicious of those gosh darn videmotronic games than are people who grew up playing them. But I think it's also because of the interactive nature of games that makes them a very different medium.

On the other hand, prescription drugs are the one issue that always seems to be glossed over. Maybe if Activision and Take Two bought ad time on CNN...

Off-topic, but the generation gap is absolutely hilarious when it comes to medicine and the war on drugs. My grandfather reads the newspaper and complains of all the arrests that go on in our area because of all the people "on that dope", but he'll wheedle and whine to his doctors for any drugs they can push his way to solve any and all of his imagined and real ailments.
