are not conscious. Thus, those who play them at an addicted extend are operating at a lower level of consciousness, where their brain chemicals in a manner producing "pleasure." It is sad but true that our level of high-tech skills is far above the general level of human Goodness. Machines are running more peopl's minds.

I've been posting essays on other forums recently, where they tend to get more response and conversation than here. Either way, though, I guess I'm doing my thinking on a computer! Ha! But nothing at the level of kids on cell phones, or young guys addicted to mindless, violent games. And "addicted" is literal, in terms of brain chemistry. We witness the result. That's not to say every kid, but there seems a rather obvious common history among these violent games per violent young men.

People tend to too often focus on what isn't important, and fail to see the more important features. There is almost always an incident that lights the fuse, followed by leakage.
