   I noticed on CNN last night a report (from S. Carolina I think) about
a youngster who had committed suicide. Aparently he played D&D at  
school quite a bit, so of course everyone has decided that D&D is to
blame for his death. A group of parents is now trying to have D&D banned
from the school. Unfortunately, I don't think this kind of reactionism
is all that uncommon. Give the principal of the school credit though,
as he has been supporting the game all the way.
