Re: Prohibition is meant to punish sin, not eradicate or prevent it 10
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] ... Third best result: Status quo Fourth result: Highly regulated government and big business run online poker. ... Some folks might mix my 3rd and 4th result (i.e. prefer massive regulation to the status quo) [/ QUOTE ] #4 >>> #3, if you play poker to make money and not just for the competition/fun. but [ QUOTE ] why argue over it? [/ QUOTE ] [/ QUOTE ] #3 > #4 (or at least could be) if #4 results in higher rakes and no rakeback. Not only would high taxes and government monopolies do this -- the AGA says Internet sites should have no competitive advantage over B&M rooms. ------------------ Everyone, That being said, it doesn't really matter. It's not like we have an option of just sitting back and keeping the status quo. We lost in the House 317-93 last year. We have no choice but to fight for our rights as hard as we can. I've said it before...we have to fight as hard as we can for our rights. There is no other option. We can win iMEGA only to lose to an updated law by Congress. We can win the WTO, only to have the U.S. pull out and pay off (as we're seeing now). These other things can win for us IF we build, maintain, and demonstrate our politican strength and resolve. So, want #3? Fight for #4! Because, if you don't, we'll get that last option...prohibition.
