All Comments on 'Gambling and the Government'

The government has never accepted the idea that they cannot successfully legislate morality. Stop the horrible smoking - but still pay crop support for tobacco farmers. Make the tobacco companies pay into the states coffers for anti-smoking commercials but if the smoking level lowers enough, the companies no longer pay to pay into this fund.

If tobacco is so bad, cut off crop supports and make the companies pay into anti-smoking campaigns if the smoking level drops or not.

(1)They wish to disguise their hideously immoral actions with a veneer of righteousness. (2)They have been bought by mob, which has not been able to gain control over internet gambling and fears that its casinos will suffer from the competition.

I hate one-sided posts. I have actually made quite a bit of money online playing poker, and am disappointed that Congress has determined to outlaw this type of gambling.

However, there are MANY people that have lost tremendous amounts of money from gambling online. Don't we want to stop this from happenning?
