Buzzkill thought of the week

“You see, when we let the children have these devices—these Nintendos and PlayBoxes, or whatnot—it completely takes away their capacity for imagination. If it were up to me, there would be no video games at all. When I was a kid, my dad gave me a stick and a rock and told me to go make my own fun. And I was grateful for it! These days if something doesn’t have a screen, kids won’t even look at it! This is why I’m proposing legislation to ban all electronic devices for anyone under the age of 21. Let’s reclaim our children and remind them why they’re here: to adhere to our every need.”

—Wis. State Rep. Davidison LaGrange, District 409
