This author is literally psychotic. Who knows or cares about this issue? This is the first I've heard of it, and I care not. And personally, I HATE gambling. I'd rather take my money and burn it, since at least if I burned it it would provide me some value (warmth) as opposed to gambling it away.
Lots of people.
And personally, I HATE gambling.
That's nice. Millions of Americans enjoy it, and the large majority do so responsibly. Particularly in the case of poker, where skill is more important than luck.
You know, you might want to take a look at some of his writings before making such an idiotic statement. See my post #63.
As for you not caring, he made the point that most hadn't heard of it and wouldn't care even if they knew. His point, as you seemed to have missed it, was that the on-line gambler does care, and there are millions of them. They know it was Sen. Frist who added this to the port security legislation. Their ox is being gored and it was a Republican who gored it. Some percentage, who knows exactly, will vote for the Democrat because of this. It might make the difference in some closely contested races around the country.
