Skeptical Quote of the Week.
‘Even the most outspoken of the critics must admit that long before we had print and film media to ‘spread the word,’ mankind was engaged in all forms of curel and despicable behavior. To attribute war, kiling, and violence to film, TV, and role-play games is to fly in the face of thousands of years of recorded history.’ - Gary Gygax
