> You're right. Women are too stupid to figure it out on their own. Let's get the government involved.
I don't see where Al Gore said that. He is talking about educating women. Nowhere does he say that the state should impose on women how many children they should have. Well, as always, people read something quoted out of context by somebody else. It is normal these days.
For edification purposes, I found the Games for Change Convention website:
"Founded in 2004, Games for Change is the leading global advocate for supporting and making games for social impact. We bring together organizations and individuals from the social impact sector, government, media, academia, the gaming industry and the arts to grow the field, incubate new projects and provide an open platform for the exchange of ideas and resources."
They make games that try to educate about socially important issues. For example, they have a game called EnerCities in which the player is supposed to try to balance people, the planet's environment and profit.
At the event Al Gore gave the opening keynote speech about how digital games can have a positive social impact. His speech was never about women or the government.
If the issue of women's education arose, it would have been during the Q&A period after his speech, and then at no point in time did he intimate that the state should control women's choices.
I think that when you read your blogs, you have to remember that those who blog are self-appointed experts. They give their own interpretation (good or bad) of something else.
I do agree with Al Gore. Women have to be educated and empowered and it is a woman's right to have control over her reproductive abilities. It is the only way to ensure sustainable population growth. Of course, those who criticize indiscrimantely won't see that.
