Free Speech Versus Violence

The Supreme Court will be taking up the issue of free speech again. This time, it's an attempt to overturn a law that forbids the sale of violent video games to children.



Supreme Protection

The folks who sell those games
Depicting violence
Say a law that bans their sale
Is wrong - and makes no sense.

The case has found its way
To the nation's highest court;
Where merchants now all hope
They'll finally find support.

Since kids can tune in cable,
Game sellers think it's lame,
That they, too, can't teach children
How to assault and kill and maim.
