Many PC / Console games for children are 100x more addictive than slotmachines or casino games, and people can lose much more money with them.

Thanks to the government's crack down on internet gambling, I was introduced to libertarianism. Always a ray of sunshine out there I guess.

@ned262626 it may be to you, but to me, hypocrisy is the greater evil.

Only in America the Chinese "Communist" can eat at the White house. Libertarian are the "ONLY SENSIBLE PEOPLE ON EARTH"

Look what it took to run Meyers Lansky out of Havana. The mob would have become more powerful than any government.

Hey hey hey..... Liberals are the ones now trying to limit gambling? That has been religious Conservative dogma forever. Progressive liberals have always been for decriminalising these things along with drugs.... It cracks me up when I see this new wave of conservatives that have managed to escape religious brain washing saying the same thing liberalism has always logically advocated, then now reverse course and brand their old policies liberal! what next?! Prohibition will be called liberal!
