aLife of politics

I just read some articles from this google cluster, about the growing uses for virtual worlds in business... And political concern that virtual worlds could be used for illegal activity (even terrorism).

An article in the Washington Post was the most entertaining - and really, that's what I read the news for. It was about a congressional subcommittee meeting to help the US congress learn about virtual worlds. Anyway, here's a great quote:
"Rep. Jane Harman (D-CA) probably got the best quips out, joking that some people already think Congress is a virtual world, and that Markey was throwing the event merely to learn how to get to the next level in World of Warcraft."
