I disagree. The “morality groups” who fight gambling only have two real audiences anyway – themselves and those who need their vote. Others see them hindering freedom of speech and it’s largely why US law is in such a laughable state. The US already banned online gambling. There is no “enemy” anymore. Just “them” and “us”.
I think it’s great that even in our community there are devil’s advocates – its how it should be, here and in life in general – you need to see both sides. When it gets stupid is when someone with power decides that the opinions of a few should be forced on everyone “for their own good”. That’s when you throw “land of the free” out the window and swap the the “star spangled banner” for the red flag and sickle. A government who says to me “we don’t trust you to gamble your own money, but feel free to buy a gun” has got itself into such a mess that surely it can’t be taken too seriously anymore, can it?
One in a thousand people can’t control themselves, so stop everyone from doing it! Yeah right. Prohibition…that was a roaring success wasn’t it?
