(I couldn't find a video of the hearings themselves.)
Personally, I think congress is still full of a bunch of old, mostly white, pretty much conservative, predominantly Christian, bigots. I really think that our government is doomed as is, it's policies are lagging behind American culture in support of squelching... basically what they think of as lesser class citizens. Not to mention the fact that most of legislature is based on who can throw the most money at congress, which more often than not is companies like Monsanto and Tyson, or groups of media companies working together in favor of more censorship. Way back when the country was founded, Thomas Jefferson said that he believed that a government needs an up in arms revolution every 20 years, which make us about 150 years overdue (marking the Civil War as the last such revolution).
Anyways... as a result of congress, the entire country is slowly starting to drag behind in terms of social and cultural progressiveness. Today, we live in a progressive society, but I really don't expect the US to be called by that 50 years down the road. I'm not going to go into detail about games, because it's not just games in this argument. It's all forms of media, everything that helps to make the nation a progressive one is suffering. Sub-cultures are suffering, civil rights movements are suffering, individuality is dying, minorities are suffocated whenever possible.
