Should Gambling be Legal?
Don't really see why it is such a problem...or question.
Another example of the government sticking their noses into something it shouldn't be. This is a topic that the citizens need to handle. But then again, all those do gooders out there trying to tell me what is best for me and my family. Sorry, I dont need anyone telling me what I should or should not spend my money on. Quit trying to protect me from myself, I am capable of that myself.
I am not a big gambler but I get the urge two or three times a year to go play some Blackjack. What is wrong with that? At least I am not out there telling people what they should or should not do, mind your own business. Me playing blackjack and losing a couple hundred bucks is of no concern to anyone.
