I thought I was going to see something about the outlawing of Ouija boards. [/ QUOTE ] That's how industry types are pronouncing it, apparently.

Re: Additional push against Ouija.
I have forwarded the following to the Neal Boortz synicated radio show.
================================================== ========== Neal- I am a recreational on-line poker player who is a member of a community of poker players called 2+2. Recently, we had a friendly wager with noted professional poker player Barry Greenstein which resulted in us collectively donating over $30,000 to the charity Children, Inc. Following link is an article from yesterday's Richmond (VA) Times-Dispatch about this effort. http://www.timesdispatch.com/servlet/Sat...d=1149193496884 Also, you can read more about this at the 2+2 web forum to get a strong sense of the effort and commitment involved by literally hundreds of poker players from all over the world. Here is that link: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showfl...;gonew=1#UNREAD Neal, I know you initially denounced the Unlawful Internet Gaming Enforcement Act as an unnecessary government intrusion into the lives of responsible adults. Please continue to occasionally draw attention to this. The irony is thick and heavy that hundreds of poker players from around the world could voluntarily coalesce around a charitable drive on the internet in just a matter of a few days when it is these same players that have been made to be outlaws by our federal government. Thanks for saying what nobody else will say.

[/ QUOTE ] Wasn't this bill a rider to port appropriations... And so it's further muddled by other issues at hand. I'm sure if you asked each member of Congress about their feelings on this you'd hear a ton of "What?"
