Well, without the government, most people would be throwing refuse at each other, not to say making war. That is, the "government" is precisely that which makes it possible for each family to attend to its own affairs, without fear of invasion by others. Thankfully, there is a governmental hierarchy with the Constitution at the top. We'll see. That said, good call on the hypothetical admonishment. Parents need to take a more serious stand on their own parenting. Also, the law simply cannot infiltrate and regulate households well, such as game playing, and therefore should not try--the results would be... unsettling. And as Lancer pointed out, ESRB is effective self-regulation; where that is effected in earnest and well, not even the "progressive" Woodrow Wilson would argue that the government ought to interfere.
