Having read quite a few of Stephen King's books, the general rule is that the least supernatural silliness, the better the book. Unfortunately, he's a horror writer and most of his books have supernatural silliness in them.
His short stories are much better than his novels, regardless of the silliness level.
Oh yeah, topic. Well, obviously he's right. Millions agree with him. The world would be much better if we took back responsibility for our actions, blah blah blah, it doesn't make a jot of difference how many public figures repeat this stuff. If Christ himself returned and said unto us that videogames are OK, it wouldn't make a difference. (Even Christians have very little trouble ignoring teachings that conflict with their own prejudices, e.g. "love thy neighbour" and "materialism sucks").
