What a joke that statement is: Probably about .5% of this is true - IMHO, it's not enough to justify such a ban. There are so many other means to track these people that it is a joke of a reason to allow the crazy religious zealouts enjoy justification for oppressing liberty. With all the sites that enjoy 'gaming' from chess, bridge, cribbage, dungeons and dragons, etc., it's simply naive to think that 'gambling' isn't part of every fray in American life. It's huge! Some people call bingo a charitable activity. Have you ever seen the little old ladies swear and scream at the bingo caller or MEN. Heaven forbid a guy wins a game, they are completely berated by these sweet little gray haired ladies.
I'm sure that much money gambled at racing tracks and lotteries are wagered with ill-gotten money somewhere.
The hypocrisy kills me!
What I really think is that the outrage belongs in the Senate where it was moved forward and then on the arse who attached it the port authority bill. I really hate shady dealings and this kind of activity and common deceptive practice is disturbing.
