It's a sad fact of life that something that's so important to all of is treated as such. But gaming is one way that human beings determines the direction that it takes.

Boxing is another sport and yes, there is a physical aspect to it. But it has RULES. It's not like two boxers are trying to kill each other in a back alley.

And I have to point out that his you think that politics is sterile, you haven't been paying attention. Politics is life and death.
