Question

I see that our courts are being asked to rule on the propriety of outlawing video games as a "waste of time and money." It seems that we may be onto something here. A favorable ruling would open the door to new laws eliminating show business, spectator sports, cocktail lounges, the state of Nevada, public education and, of course, the entire federal bureaucracy. fallacy

Answer 1
