I have mixed feelings about this. First, I LOVE to gamble and I gamble as often as I can. I gamble as much as I can afford and I think of it as a form of entertainment. Some people like going out to dinner, some like going mountain climbing...I like to gamble. Ok, second. If Bennett were just some conservative politician, I would say this was a witch hunt and feel sorry for him. But the fact of the matter is that he has made an industry out of virtue. He writes, lectures, etc. He should have known better, which leads me to believe that it is a problem, because he must have known that eventually this would happen with the kind of money he gambles with.

Maybe. But I am most inclined to simply say that this is not a big deal unless you can show me the crime committed.
