I got that you were being facetious.
you are right though (not about the gov't but about the problem). there are way too many people that play that never seem to log off.
although I can see all this time spent as a problem and don't do it myself, I'm not ever going to tell someone else how to spend their free time!
you're in a position where you can apply peer pressure. make them feel like the uberdorks they are! I doubt they will stop playing, but maybe you can get your point across!
then again....maybe you should just join them.
