All this time, I was under the impression that gambling was BAD. A drain on the resources of mostly poor people and a catalyst for criminal activity. Addictive and a destroyer of families and communities. But every time I turn around, OUR GOVERNMENT (the same ones who put "we, the people" in PRISON for gambling rings and numbers games) not only dreams up a new game of risk, but also makes it so easy! Now, who STILL thinks they have OUR best interests at heart? Its ALL about the money!!
