Rocketboom: U.S. Congress in Second Life

[rlundxxx]

Bunch of rich assholes playing on our dime.

[rlundxxx]

Reminds me of Clutch Cargo.

We are all so smart with heads spinning around ... but ... George Bush is still The Decider, Saddam Hussein caused 911, Haliburton and Blackwater will keep us safe, Archer Daniels Midlands will feed us and Exxon Mobil will fill our tanks ... all while keeping stockholders happy and not harming my planet.

This is beyond stupid.

This is proof that our congress is just waisting time. Let's fire the lot of them.

[fccdestroyer]

your damn right

Actually, there are real issues going on here. This has to do with copyrighting, child safety, espionage, terrorism, hacking,

[Ninjasqrlgirl]

Those are real issues. But, how is discussing them on an MMORPG helpful in creating a meaningful discourse? I still feel this was an attempt by old people and out of touch people to try to understand modern technology and completely missing the point.

Well, looks like congress has finally given up on the real world!
