Does anyone have a like to program in progress like the topic we are discussing for the schools. I want to pass across a couple of key educators here from the education department and see what they have in mind of it.

What I would like to see is some sort of program, maybe in the way of tax breaks, to companies developing more physical games like this. The CDC via this www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/factsheets/death_causes2000.htm link, says one of the top causes of death is inactivity. I read some other report, excuse lack of link I cant find it, but it showed some of the reasons for us all getting bigger, some of it was because of people living in Sprawl regions and gaming was a factor in that report as well. Well, duh... if you live in a sprawl area, no sidewalks, no stores or parks... what is there to do? And Gaming? No one needs to tell me what gaming has done to me, I sure as heck know about my poor choices...lol Anyways, if it is SUCH a huge issue... then they need to seriously look at the benefits of DDR and bring that before congress and strive to make it "friendlier" to develop or Import DDR games and DDR Type games. |

I'm all for that guys.. First, they said that America is the "fatest" country.. Then they said that the kids are spending more time infront of the television instead of getting out and doing some form of exercise. It seems like this is the answer to that.. where yes, Kids are still infront of the Television, but they are getting healthier, and having a blast playing this game...

So true... Well, just like with other games.. You have people who are "haters". Most of them have attempted to place there foot on the right arrow and have failed badly.. Turning to DDR and saying.. "You've made me feel and look like a fool.. I will never play you again.. You suck" and then you have the ones that think everyhting is a conspiracy... "DDR is a modern day "Trojan Horse", they'll never fool me..." But hopefully.. I wish they would stop hating on it and just have fun.

Well I am going to do some research and talk to a friend of mine that is pretty heavily into politics and get his advice.
Once I hear something I will let you fine people know.
