The biggest difference between these fads and poker is that millions of people were already playing poker before this boom hit. This is just changing the location where many of them play.

I agree completely. The main thing we need to worry about, I think, is a PR disaster. There's a few possibilities for this:

- A well-known poker site just decides not to let people cash out. They take the money and run. I know this is far-fetched, but it's possible. It has happened with some obscure online casinos.

-The media decides to report stories about gambling addicts who lost thier life savings online, and how it's so easy to lose all your money so fast. Most people will have the sense not to blame the wrong people for this, but it wouldn't be good.

The other thing to worry about is all the Bible thumping tards who believe that gambling is bad for society. These people definitly have significant political power.

So I guess the plan now is to:

VOTE LIBERTARIAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
