so you never played Atari or colecovision? it is too easy to say it's all to that.
I wonder if there is anymore abductions now than the 50's/60's. I would suggest there is not. It's just that in the 60's or 70's or 80's when a child was abducted in Florida, for example, we did not hear about it within an hour here in Alberta. Now if a kid is missing there is an Amber alert and numerous news agencies reporting it. (i should say i think Amber Alert et al. is great, and i have no research or evidence to support my thoughts).
