And given the fact that violence amongst teenagers is at a 30-year low, it seems that perhaps politicians should refocus their energies on measures that actually protect children. And yet the suits in D.C. have another agenda. In 2005, Sen. Hilary Rodham Clinton, now the likely future Democratic contender for President, drafted a letter to the Federal Trade Commission concerning the “Mature” rating for the popular game...
