wikileaks blog 4 for Comm 203

In my opinion Wikileaks isn't really a good thing but it isn't really a bad thing either. It's not good because the public needs a little ease into the news of the government. We cannot just drop stuff on them it has to be simply and easily given to the public. He did not have the right to just throw everything at the general public. If the government were to make some of these available to the public one or two at a time then I think however the government chose to release them would be best because our government keeps secrets from the people to protect us and keeps us from knowing what they do everyday to keep us safe.

There has been this on going fight about whether or not violent video games make children more violent though i think that if a kid is going to be violent they'll do it with or without playing the video games. Sometimes though video games can be used to reduce stress and help people relax more than if they tried doing something else to relax. I know from experience that it is a very good stress reliever because it takes your mind off whatever it was that was upsetting you. I think there is no way to link for absolute certainty that video games make children more violent besides video games have ratings on them for a reason. They are specifically rate so that small children cannot play certain ones and only others. The people selling the games are required to look at the rating and make sure small children cannot purchase games with a higher rating.

So, now the government is trying to control everything we do on the internet. I don't understand why they think it's within their right to trample all over ours by trying to control the world as we know it! I understand that there are copyright laws for a reason but it doesn't have to be a battle for power over the masses. I think they should just stop trying to control everything then maybe more people would care about what was happening in the way of political power today. I know that not many young people care because they don't mention issues we care about only focusing on the ones adults mostly care about.
