This is actually an argument for our side. Remember the UIGEA has been around for almost a year now, and the wire act, what 40 yrs, and this guy still had the motivation and opportunity to destroy his life and others.

This happened on the prohibitionists' watch not on regulatory advocates' watch.

If a regulatory scheme had been in place then this guy would have had a much better chance of accessing the help he sorely needed. Instead, he was thrown to the wolves by the prohibitionists while they thumped their chests and their bibles.

Prohibitions don't work because they don't really stop anything, except help from getting to the troubled.

Lemonade indeed. A great point. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] -- We've been screaming that prohibition won't stop problem gamblers. This is a great example.
