Hillary vs. Grand Theft Auto
In Johnson's argument he points out some really good facts about Hillary arguing that video games are bad for children. When you first think about video games you would probably be more likely to agree with the things that Sen. Clinton states, but after reading Johnson's argument it is almost impossible not to agree with him. Johnson points out that even though kids sit there all day and play video games, in many ways the video games are preparing kids to be able to handle situations that they will be confronted with when they are older. At least by playing the games they can learn techniques for certain things, instead of just sitting in front of the tv all day. And as Johnson pointed out, you dont get any exercise from just sitting and doing homework either.

When I thought about video games, I did agree with Hillary until I read what Johnson had to say. I never thought video games were helping the kids learn new skills for life until now.
I also never thought about Johnson's point of veiw until reading this essay. It is true that kids do learn a lot of skills from video games that will be useful to them later on in life and that many other activities that kids could get involved in are much more dangerous.
