sans clue (first in a series; collect them all)

The Dirty Dozen of the Lion and Lamb project (among other things, like testifying before congress) lists games that parents should not let their kids play. While I'm impressed that they are reasonably up to date, I don't understand how they can include THE CLEARLY ESRB LABELED text, and ignore the "Mature" rating on it. GTA: Vice City's descriptor includes:

Neither the video game nor retail industries enforce the voluntary ratings system, which means that teens can easily buy and rent Mature-rated titles. Even retailers with policies that restrict the sale of Mature-rated games to children allowed children to purchase Mature-rated video games 73 percent of the time, according to a recent Federal Trade Commission survey.

There's a survey? It's a government survey? Provide a damned URL; I'd like to know if it was in the last two years.

I got so worked up, I forgot to add my gripe. Er, point. Videogames don't kill people, guns do. And guns don't even kill people unless there's a person attached to the user-end, and a victim on the other. If GTA caused people to kill other people, wouldn't there be a larger corresponding spike of overall murder with the stupendous success of that game? Instead, all I see are the same lame-asses who cannot accept responsibility for their own actions, and a public that wants to maintain its own victimization without addressing the actual causes of its degradation. Want to prevent kids from being affected by violence? Try not letting them watch the news, or read the newspaper.
