Research shows the driving games do not increase crazy driving on the streets. But a new Fast and Furious movie ? Increased insanity. The obvious difference is that the people with a game controller in their hand can work out their daydreams/media-sourced-brain-worms. I believe this directly compares to the studies showing gun games decrease the violence. < silly-ness ensues > So I think when there is another school shooting then the news media must release a gun game mod for the school in question and everyone who watched that news show must play the game so they can be the hero who came in and stopped the bad guys and they will have resolved the horror in their heads. < /silly-ness > OK, we could not run such a program, but that doesn't mean I'm wrong.

Easy, the context of the whole article. Most readers just read in the general tone of an article without critically seeing if the facts presented support the case being made. They see "watch out, the democratic vp candidate is bad for tech". Then they see our hero Phil as being in agreement with the article. But Phil's response points to the political reality of the far greater evil. He is countering the very unbalanced article where he was quoted. The quote is out of context as Phil said, being about the bill in 1999, with Declan placing Biden's name next to the quote to make it seem personal and relevant. It is out of context and not relevant as it is very different from what Phil does say concerning tech issues in this election.
