I live in Chicago, and pay taxes in Illinois. This law may be good for the popularity of the otherwise do-nothing governor, but it's just going to be struck down after two years of lawsuits. To think when he was elected there was a buzz about his future, now it's just duldrums and lame duck stuff. Another big example is his recent executive order to fund stem cell research with a whopping $10 million. Oh yeah that's going to do a whole bunch of nothing - if all that was needed to get this black hole area to produce something then private business/big pharma would be all over it. Instead, it's government payouts for our Abbott labs friends.

I guess it's not his fault with this video game deal, he just signed it, oh wait yes it is - afterall HE SIGNED IT. I wish he would go back to his job at Dick Mell-ville from hence he came.

the Constitution is claimed by all sorts of junk purveyers as a
statement of their rights to peddle junk. I don't think so, and I hope
the courts agree, The game manufacturers are not free to use sex
and violence to sell their products. And the state has the right to
impose limits on electronic games.

More state should impose these limits.

Don't worry what you like will never be banned, but of course someone doesn't like it so maybe it just might if that someone happens to control some pol.
