Whoever, whatever, I think the gambling needs to start being cut back by law. Internet gambling is going to devour some people. parsy the puritan.

The vice will always find the weak-willed. Those that are smarter than their weakness learn to avoid it. I'm speaking from the inside looking out on this issue, I am what's known in mob movie parlance as "a degenerate gambler", I can't stop once I start and I'm no good at it. My solution is simple, I don't gamble, I don't go anywhere near those places and close down those internet popup adds quickly. I don't even go to the concerts one of the local casinos has (good concerts too, ones I'd like to go to) because I know what will happen. But I don't expect the rest of the world to stop gambling just because I have issues. They're my issues and I'll deal with them.
