I'm a bit surprised there hasn't been more of a stink with the political powers that be over the explosion of poker and online poker in particular. When I read articles in the NY Times about how many kids are taking up NL Hold em and playing for money, you would think the morality police would start moaning about the sin of gambling and the corruption of the young, etc.

I guess the fact that all the major sites are offshore, and there isn't much stomach for going after the thousands of individual players, and that poker is very popular (I'm sure a few of the moral fire breathing types in Congress play the game), has slowed down the "we have to stop this for your own good," crowd.
