Games can be used for pain control (burn victims have stated that while playing games, about 90% of the pain left), for helping soldiers cope with posttraumatic stress disorder by playing shooters set in Iraq, and even being used to help treat migraines. In addition, it's been found that doctors that play games frequently make more than a third fewer mistakes during simulation surgery than doctors that don't.

          Because the government doesn't represent the ideals of the general populace. They're meant to, but in the end they're still just people with their own opinions.
