You forgot to express your portion of the collective hate of anything light-hearted and simply fun!

You forgot to call for the people to regurgitate their anti-lottery cliches! (Although I see that some here have done their duty...)

You forgot to demand that the collective boot of the people be used to smash the face of the Powerball guy...

FOREVER!

You have been ungood comrade.

LOL...yep. (**best Borg voice**) Resistance is futile...you will be assimilated.

No one FORCES anyone to play the lotto. Stupid article...it ISN'T the state's job to protect people from themselves. That's not a "libertarian argument": it's common sense conservatism, one of the cor principles of which is responsibility for one's own actions.
