Re: Gracz rips police after bust
And now 'Horrible Arguments' with Michael Gracz
1) In a legal system where police enforce the law, but do nothing to do with making the law, if you don't agree with a law, you should attack the police. 2) If two things are illegal, enforcing the lesser crime of the two = stupid. 3) If something is legal, within "hours" of a given jurisdiction, making it illegal in that jurisdiction = stupid. Basically, passing a law against anything but piracy in any coastal region is dumb ('But I could just get a boat and go toward international waters! Stupid cops').

Re: Gracz rips police after bust
Yeah, horrible...the next night the NC State police busted a retirees nickel stakes bridge game and some 8 year olds playing jacks for marbles! The pigs should be ashamed of themselves. Pick on some real criminals.

"Although skills such as knowledge of human psychology, bluffing, and the ability to calculate and analyze odds make it more likely for skilled players to defeat novices, novices may yet prevail with a simple run of luck," the appeals opinion said. "No amount of skill can change a deuce into an ace." [/ QUOTE ] Most interesting part of the article was this justification for ruling poker a game of chance.

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah it's great that the government considers it a game of chance, but at the same time taxes it as earned income. Doesn't the term 'earned' have an implication of skill?

[/ QUOTE ] Income tax is not limited to 'earned' income. Income 'from whatever source derived' is subject to the tax, yes, even income resulting from a crime. Al Capone went to Alcatraz for tax evasion.
