Ten Ton Hammer - Taking MMO Gamers to the Next Level!

Former Boston Red-Sox pitching great, MMO player extraordinaire and founder of 38 Studios, Curt Schilling has been rumored to be a candidate for the recently vacated Massachusetts senate seat. According to his own blog site, it’s something he may be considering.

When did health and the well-being of United States citizens become a “Strategic Decision”? How the hell did we let people into office who look at us in that way? Aren’t they SUPPOSED to work for us?

This line really just hammers home what the people we have elected think of us…

“When you have (lawmakers) go back (home) and listen and see what the reactions are and also have an election coming up…I think they get a little cold feet.”

What? Really? You mean when lawmakers face their constituents — you, me, us, the people — and we voice a dissenting opinion or outrage at legislation we do not want they get cold feet? So the answer is you should “ram it home” BEFORE you face the people, that way there’s nothing that can be done about it? Nice.

What do you think? Is Curt the type of person you would vote for? A gamer in office would be an interesting addition for sure.
