What does this mean for everyone? I personally think little by little the gov't is stripping away at our civil rights little by little. This is stupid, they should make it legal, tax the hell out of it and let us have our fun.

It is bad but not as bad as when they wanted to charge us for each email that we recieved.I get 1,000's a day and would be in the poor house by the end of the week.
I am just wondering how can they enforce this online ban on gambling?

I think that it is just another way that the government is taking away our freedoms. Who are they to tell me how and where I can spend my money? I think that they just needed to find a way to get in on the action and make a profit rather then shutting us all out.

The only thing that I can say about this is that if they were to ban online gaming it would save me a heck of a lot of money. The nearest casino is a ways away so we don't go that often so we are forced to play online when we need a fix. If they took that away I would be rich! LOL

I do not know why they are doing this, but alot of people are not happy with this there was even a petition going around to see what they can do. I am not for this at all.
