I am suggesting that gambling, like drinking, does not cause harm in and of itself. The potential for abuse is there for people with addictive personalities, true, but if we consider everything that can be abused to be immoral, then we should all give up on sex and eating right now!
Oh, I'm with you! It's just that Bennett is the Great Pontificator on all things moral. He'd be the first to argue AGAINST us on this. Ask him about the Drug War, since he was the Drug Czar. He played the 'societal harm' angle. It was the OVERALL harm caused by drugs that requires the Drug War, not the individual use.
