All these incidents of the bad cases are stupid and have no bearing on this. How many times do we read about a teenager drinking, driving, and ending up dead. Or another teen walking into a high school and shooting a principal. We can cite all these examples till we are blue in our faces.
I'm really disappointed with this. I had wrote letters to both my Senators (Texas) a month ago expressing my opposition to banning online gambling. It is a farce and they all know it. They can't stop it... they only make it more difficult. So instead of using my credit card I have to go buy a phone card and then transfer the funds into my online account.
My view of this is that the political types are pandering and I hope they all pay for this pandering. If it wasn't pandering then they would outlaw ALL forms of internet gambling and while they are at it... shut down Las Vegas.
