Wii, destroying lives

February 20, 2007 10:00 AM by Jeffrey Tucker (Archive)

Wii is wrecking children's lives!

    Yes, this is indeed a familiar sounding theme. I'd like to hear Paul Cantor chime in on this.

    Darn it, if those blamed kids keep reading those dime novel westerns, they're gonna wanna be cowboys, instead of getting serious jobs. Our whole way of life will just fall apart.
