Pot-smoking (illegal) and gambling (not illegal) are not comparable.
I agree....casual pot smoking (which Bennett equates with terrorism) and pathlogical gambling (which Bennett thinks should be legal at least for folks who can afford to travel to Las Vegas) are indeed quite different.
BTW, since you apparently determine your morality on the basis of what is "illegal" or "legal" I suspect that poker-playing Bill has violated a few local and state laws against that activity in his life. Wanna bet?
