Violent Video Games for Everyone!
Today the Supreme Court denied the State of California the right to ban the sale of violent video games to minors. Backed by Senator Leland Yee, the proposed bill was declared a violation of minors’ First Amendment rights. Will this mean that 14-year olds can now get into R-rated movies?

Yes, $65 million for really doing nothing. And now they want even more.
No More Raves in CA?
Assemblywoman Fiona Ma us trying to pass a bill that outlaws raves in CA.

Hm…maybe this could be a good thing after all?
