Congressional hearings that exposed the impracticalities of the Unlawful Internet Gambling and Enforcement Act
I watched the 2 hour video of the hearings and it was great to see that more folks that voted yes in the first place now see (and voice concerns) on just how uninforcable this bill is and several people also mentioned that the goventment should not be policing the internet but create regulation.
Very nice to see that we do have more people of influence thinking more rationally about online gambling.

The article ends with the recommendation that bills designed to regulate and licence online gambling should be opposed vigorously “…by all American citizens concerned about maintaining healthy communities.” It claims that by not doing so those involved would share the responsibility for the financial and relational destruction that “….so frequently occurs in gambling’s wake.”
hy·poc·ri·sy [hi-pok-ruh-see]
– a pretense of having a virtuous character, moral or religious beliefs or principles, etc., that one does not really possess.since when is congress worried about the “health of communities” and not the hand that feeds them (read lobbyists)?
why doesn’t the “recommendant” bash gambling in las vegas too? or is that the lesser evil of the two…
i rest my case…
