A. It was top of the google search.
B. Does it really matter if it was 8 years ago? Or is everything all better now? The fact that that article is 8 years old suggest to me only that this is an old problem that has been largely ignored for....8 years.
But really, my only point in making the comparison is that there was no major outcry by the public about this. And that's fine with me. The choices we make with what to do with our money is ours. Maybe they're good for us, maybe they're not. But they're ours. If someone wants to risk their money trading stocks, playing poker, investing in real estate or whatever, there will always be inherent risks involved. It's the very nature of capitalism.
If this really is a push by the right to rid us of an evil, to protect us from ourselves, how can they so blind to this? I see them talk and talk and talk about other issues like porn, alcohol and drugs, but they're still around and there doesn't seem to be any chance of them going away either. And for this reason, I feel comfortable that poker will stay as well.
