Jesus. This is child slavery. Especially since you technically weren't even family.

I think it just fuels the false perception that this is a real debate within the scientific community.

I haven't read your newest book and realize that your viewpoint may have changed by now, but in No Logo you had some decidedly anti-GMO commentary. I'm not a climate change denier, but I and many redditors are pro-GMO. I've noticed a lot of the response to climate change deniers in regards to the scientific consensus can be mirrored in the response to the anti-GMO crowd who are just as much against the scientific consensus. Every major world health organization has recognized that GMOs are safe and any genetic engineer you'd ask will tell you that the public's worries are extremely uninformed, yet the anti-GMO crowd are constantly making the same type of non-science based arguments that the climate change deniers are. They use fallacious reasoning such as "moving the goal post" (aka, there haven't been enough studies done, which you could argue forever depending on your definition of "enough") and "the naturalistic fallacy" which you could also say is based around their core worldview. What do you think about this?

I was there in April and the heat was unbearable, especially in the back. I was just there last weekend and the A/C was definitely working and it was comfortable. I was even cold standing at some games under the A/C vents.

Hi Doc.

I understand that maintaining so many games is a Huge undertaking, but I feel like more could maybe be done to keep your current games running, rather than just keep adding more. There are always loads of games in disrepair at the ghost when I go. Tempist was off for what seemed like a year at least. The monitor on your Metal Slug machine has had bad color issues ever since I've been going which makes me not really want to play it, and those are really popular games. Is the main hurdle here man power? Parts? Time? Money? Are you looking for more repair staff?

Another question. Any plans to do something about the bare bulb light fixtures? Some cabs are difficult to play because of the glare. (edit: you answered this. yes you have plans to fix it)

3rd question. A coat rack for the winter would be suuuuper nice. Could you make that happen?

Thanks for what your doing. Your arcade is probably my favorite place in the Chicago area.
