Ahhh, Boston. That town of universities. Where ideas float freely through the ether, colliding much like atoms in an MIT particle accelerator. Yes, this bastion of liberal thought seeks to venture above the simplified black vs. white moralities.

That's why it's upsetting to see this article from The Patriot Ledger which uses BioShock's "saving" or "harvesting" of Adam (a life serum) from Little Sisters (virus plagued small girls) to suggest a link between viiolent games and real-life violence.

The article seeks to add credence to Middlesex County prosecuters who claim that a stabbing at Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School is directly tied to the alleged criminals play of Grand Theft Auto.

Of course, Boston is the home to the Center on Media and Child Health who purport that there is a direct link between video game violence and real-life violence.
