NANNY STATE PING
How or where I spend my money is NOT anyone's business but mine.
BTW, I rarely gamble and have nevr done so online........
But this has nothing to do with "the religious right" it is protecting state lotteries and brick and mortar gambling establishments which have been losing money to online gaming interests.
These is just legalized government protection of monopoly corporations, no different than what has happened to online tobacco purchases.

It is to bad congress doesn't protect our manufacturing industries like they are protecting our home grown gambling industry.

How easily the tobacco-Nazi template can be tailored.
The perfect one-size-fits-all Nanny State tool.
And they thought Edison was a genius.
