Nicely said here… very nicely said.
“It is frustrating to think that the lawmakers in Washington equate online poker players to felons,” writes Nick Marshall for Yahoo! News. “Perhaps they have not figured out how to make money from the situation yet; after all, the state is in a budget crisis and spending money on mass media campaigns aimed at reminding adults to wash their hands. Some opponents suggest that online poker makes it too easy for people to gamble or play into their addiction, yet the state runs a lottery program and liquor stores. Casinos are also prevalent across the state, where money can equally be lost or made.”
“When the difference in legality is between playing in-person or online, you know something is wrong,” Marshall concludes.
And amen, say Internet gambling fans everywhere.
The ineptness in government over the last 10 years, really explains it all. I have feverishly denounced the Bush Administration for their hypocritical views of online gambling and the resultant UIGEA. The Obama administration is no better…..they are politicians in the worst sense, and there is no real leadership or practical thinking from any of these inept hired hands. It’s just not online gambling, it’s the major issues as well. There is no longer a clear line of thinking as to how decisions are made – every decision made is based on politics, and politics alone. I truly feel for the United States.
