Should Gambling be Legal?
Praise the Predators?
The timely question is not about person to person poker games or office pools. The timely question is should government allow, promote and profit from an activity that injures its citizens. Most state governments now either promote, profit from or manage gambling on a huge scale or collude with predator corporations in victimizing their citizens. The governments have moved from being a protector of its citizens to becomming a predator. Enjoy your card game...but fight the predators.
