Gambling
I read this on Slate and, frankly, I agree. I do not gamble but seeing corrupt politicians push for internet gambling ban because it's a competitive threat to the others who finance their campaigns (remember Abramoff?) aggravates the hell out of me.
Another thing I don't agree with is how they're calling gambling as "entertainment." I think gambling is simply a way for people to express and exercise their greed for fast and easy money (if they win) through minimal (or none at all) work. Entertainment is what casinos provide to lure people to come and gamble at their casino vs. their competitor, as well as take peoples' minds off their losses :)
