US Rep. Michael Capuano with former US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who explained about Obama's Health Care Bill, "We have to pass the bill in order to learn what is in it."
US Rep. Capuano, who extended The Pelosi doctrine to letters from constituents.
Have US Congressmen given up on ever learning how to read? We know they do not need to read the bills they vote on making them into laws. But now it appears they do not read letters from their own constituents who elect them. I do not know who is more to blame--voters who elect these bozos or the bozos themselves.
[Letter to US Rep. Michael Capuano (D-MA)
Dear Mike Capuano,
You must be thinking of some other constituent's letter. I wrote that if the State was getting
rid of shooter games at MassPike rest areas, we should look into changing the toxic atmosphere
in our halfway houses for juvenile offenders(I worked at one.) At times, all 3 floors had violent rap,
violent videogames, and violent movies on a jumbo screen going simultaneously.
To build a true therapeutic community costs money: instead, staff bonded with their charges over these games
and rewarded kids with increased access to it. Gunfire, screaming, explosions, blood:
that's our babysitter!
Yours in gun control and other kinds of control, too, I hope,
Ian

Dear Mr. MacKinnon:
Thank you for contacting me to express your concerns that violent video games are receiving unfair blame in the wake of recent tragedies, such as that in Newtown, Connecticut. I agree that holding video games responsible for violent behavior is unproductive and that what our country needs is to implement real reforms that address gun violence.
