Anheuser-Busch is a beer producer, one of the biggest in the world, and was going around buying up smaller ones like Rolling Rock, until AB got bought out by a big European outfit. The consolidation of companies leads to monopolies, that it can happen to things like beer and not just banks is interesting. Flag me as someone for regulation, we don't want a beer company to get too big where a government has to bail them out b/c they're 'too big to fail'! ;) Hmmm…what do you mean?

But yeah, I think people whose kids are playing games too much aren't controlling their kids; there are positive aspects to video games, just as there are positive aspects to card games, board cames, playing outside, going for a walk, etc. - but it seems to be a trend to try and 'ban' games to solve all the ills that parents don't know how to solve. I remember when they started putting 'warning' labels on bands cds -- that just makes them sell more really. Kids are slowly getting into DDR, but I think it's cool, but I never was into any DDR before, so this is my first juant. I have fun with it, and the kids laugh when I screw up, I end up helping them try to get the rhythm so they can step right, and all in all we have fun. It feels like a game that will have some staying power, and if I crank the skill level up, it is a workout! That's only a plus for kids too. For now the kids fav games are Super Mario Strikers (so fun) and Mario Party 7 (basically a glorified board game with all sorts of fun mini-arcade stuff thrown in the mix).
