Very good!
Thanks!nice find, good spin.
Thank you my man!
Great find!Very nicely put – especially the lottery calculations.
:thumbsup:I’m posting a link to that writeup on my site – in the hope that it will float up the rankings for Online Gambling Bill – and actually arm people with some reasonable thinking.
:thumbsup:Hope the mods won’t mind that i did it there too – journolism like this needs to be read.
sigh.gifYeah… gotta say, lotteries seem like tossing money out of a window. However, people can spend a dollar and dream all week about what they’ll do with millions fo dollars. That’s not so bad. Scratch tickets are awful, though. I’ve known families who would give each other scratch tickers as gifts. I’d rather just have the money.
Good article, but I wish it wouldn’t have said this:
Quote:Gambling, to a lot of people, is yucky.I don’t know what he means by “a lot,” but polls seem to show that plenty of people gamble. I’d say there are only a few people who find gambling “yucky” and even fewer who care if other people do it.
When you are passing laws and worry that the majority of the population will ignore them, that should clue you in that you are passing an unjust law. The author makes some good points for why, but I think it only applies to a few of the powerful. The rest support such things for money interests.
