Oregon, 5 minutes away.. liberal state .. hehe.. got any family over here? You could register as an Oregon Resident.. our folks pretend to live over there to avoid income tax alla the time lol
Seriously though, I really do like this idea, and applaud all of those properties and programs that pledged for any Washingtonian, if we allow this to happen in one state, it will spread, the US is not the only country that has had talk of outlawing internet gambling.. It’s really a matter of privacy to me.. we also have a constitutional right to pursue happiness in the US.. We are a free country, however that freedom seems to be taken away whenever the governemnt decides that we are its children, and in their opinion, we are not looking out for our own best interests.. For instance, seat belt laws.. helmets, curfew for our children (isnt that my job?) and all of the other laws out there that are none of the governments business and effect us only as individuals.
The part that angers me the most however, is they can tell us that it is because it is addictive, or all of the other good for us things they can say.. the truth as I see it, is that they just plain dont want the competition. Here in my state (Oregon) It isnt legal to own a gambling machine, slots are only legal at the Indian casino.. except for the 3-4 machines found in EVERY bar… those look like slots.. they have reels like slots.. you put money in them like slots.. you hope to win money back.. just like slots.. oops.. my bad.. thats the state lottory..
