In reading this article, my main conscern is the problem that comes from parents. Johnson points out very well that the sex in the game should give it a mature rating, and that should be the end of it. After pointing out many other games that are also violent or sexual, Johnson gets his point across by showing how these games may actually benefit our society. The fact that the violence that can be taken out during video games actually seems to be pretty accurate. Seeing as how i play certain games when im very angry and wish to vent some of that anger towards something that wont hurt anyone.
Another part of the letter that stands out to me againts Sen. Clinton's point is dervived from the little knowledge that parents have about the games that THEY are buying for their kids. How can a parent get angry at a game company when it was their own negligence that caused the violence to be displayed. I do think that at the end of this letter he should leave out the part he agrees with, because it takes away for the focus he had at the beginning of the paper.

I totally agree that grand theft auto is a venting game. It works very well for me aswell. I think the one thing that he agreed with at the end is in the right spot, though. It is ending how it started. Slightly sarcastic but a very strong point. It is also sort of comical that it is the one and only thing he agrees with.
