YES! Send me a free issue of Seed.
If I like what I see, I'll receive 5 more issues (6 in all) for just $19.95. If I'm not completely satisfied, I'll simply write "cancel" on the invoice and owe nothing. The free issue is mine to keep.

Apparently Jack Thompson has already been making the rounds on this one, predictably blaming violent games.
Even though I'm not keen on violent video games that reward anti-social behavior, it's obviously much too early to make that connection.

My son told me he has already heard the blame-the-gaming argument on the radio yesterday.

Jack Thompson was on FOX blaming it on video games within hours, before the shooter had even been identified. FOX, of course, captioned him as "Expert on School Shootings", despite his being misled or deliberately lying about every single case in an attempt to blame it on video games.
Kotaku is treating him like we do creationists.
