Tears left unfallen
Two Roses Entwined
In Encumberence of love
Blissfully Blind
The Cost of Love
Easily Paid
But in Ttruth
Painfully made
Sorrow and Tragedy
From Pain Long Past
Although You Smile
You Know they Last
It's Easy to Say
A Feeling and Lie
But for Me it's Different
I Look in Your Eye
Love Exists
In a Form Most True
I will Pay that Cost
I Give my Heart to you

Letter to the Editor of MSNBC
Dear Editor, MSNBC. Good afternoon.
After watching the Televised report at approxamately 2:00 PM Easern time on December 20, 2007 regarding the "Mortal Kombat" Death... I am somewhat upset by the context in which it was represented. It had been reported that the older girl claimed to have been wrestling, and the boy had been reported to have bragged about kicking and punching the victim while drunk. However, I have seen absolutely no evidence that mortal kombat was at fault, or even if the accused had even owned a copy of the game or games. There was no report of martial arts being used, as anyone can do a punch or kick. What I saw was a report of an attack with the image of the Mortal kombat franchise plastered over it. If you have evidence that Mortal Kombat is at fault, I would rather it be reported as such, because at the moment I see no connection to the game whatsoever, besides your own report featuring the Name and clips of the game. Indeed the game is a violent game, but should there be any blame to place it would rest better on a society which makes such violence their highest rated form of entertainment, rather than a scapegoat such as a video game which only serves to the demands of the masses. Furthermore, due to the M rated content of the game, the accused should not have had access to the game, if they weren't of age. This case seems more one of domestic incident, which has been influenced by a bais against a particular and popular genre of game that has often been picked on by the likes of Jack Thompson, and others who have a closed minded grudge against games, and/or media.
If there is any valid evidence of the games influence I would conceed to such allegations.
However I think it appropriate here to place a quote from a later segment of the broadcast saying "Everyone wants to point the finger somewhere." (Approx 2:37 PM, ET.)
In contempt under opression] - Sincerely,
Justin John Christian, Game Enthusiast
