drug laws exist because we live in a democracy the majority of people support the existence of such laws, and most importantly, they don't violate our constitution. Right now, There is ZERO chance of being elected on a "Get Rid Of Drug Laws" platform. So, the use of the existence of such laws as proof of some facist tendency is exactly wrong.
On the other-hand, I can imagine someone running successfully on a "Gid Rid of Online Gamlbing Restrictions!" platform.
Unfortunately, the Harrahs, and Wynns of the world probably have their hands suck in the asses of as many politicians needed to ensure it doesn't happen.
I had an account at VIPSports, loved betting college football! It was awesome, great site.
No-one should fret, there are plenty of technical means around this, but I'm sure the plenalties will get tougher. On the positive side, if done illegally, no need to pay taxes on your winnings!

you're only fooling yourself. You Are an Idiot.
There is little to suggest, the criminalisation of an action will automatically reduce the instance of an action-
while there is plenty to suggest, the associated neglect of actual ploblems caused by officially sweeping the problem under the carpet in the guise of criminalisation actually creates a snowball effect out of all proportion to the original problem.
Unbeleivably, you dont agree with that, re drug prohibition, yet you openly state your comfortable with (now) being a crim, and suggesting theres ways around it?????
You were being ironic, right? No particular logical flaw there, in your veiw?
What does Don Bright think of all this.........

You know what? I wish they <i>really would</i> switch the motto on currency to "Bend over and take it, sheep!"
That way, at least the public might begin to realize that something is wrong. Bond them in the ropes of authoritarianism while calling it 'Liberty' and 'Freedom'... and people don't even notice the problem.
