Like smoke crack in the privacy of your own home, flafishy?

Look, that was devil's advocate above, I actually agree you ought to be able to smoke crack in the privacy of your own home if you are stupid enpough to want to (not meaning you personally flafishy).

But that libertarian argument is a long way from having any real political clout in this country.

For now we have to show that the activity isnt really that dangerous before the masses will agree that you should be left alone and not prosecuted for doing it.

And part of making that argument involves showing poker is a game of skill.

Sorry, Skallagrim, but I really don't see the skill argument having any political weight, either. What could anyone possibly say to these people that would make them understand that? I really think the PPA and all the other luck-vs.-skill folks are wasting a lot of time and money taking this approach.
