i thought the article was actually surprisingly well-written, for the most part. if he had written an identical article about a bill that did not include poker (and did include horse racing and online lotteries) i would mostly agree with it. i'm all for personal freedom, but as a country i don't think we need a lot of people dumping money overseas playing online roulette. flame away.

it doesn't matter if you think people should be gambling online or not. that's not what the big picture is about here. people in this country find countless ways to waste their money, and it's not the government's job (at least in this country) to police that. people in a "free" country should be able to spend their money how they like. i would expect government regulation of things like this from china but not from the land of the free.

This adminstration has been doing that from day one. Now that it's directly affected you I'm sure you'll notice.

We have two choices in this country. Either vote for Republicans or Fascist. That's where we are. You can thank your country for continuing to blindly support the Fascist (I mean Republican party).

the fact that this administration has been doing it doesn't change anything. it's still not their job to police this sort of thing, and it still does not matter whether people think online gambling is good or bad. just b/c i dislike smoking doesn't mean i think it should be banned, and i would be furious if it did get banned.
