re: #372 Thanos

When it comes to gambling there are four factions - they are trying to limit each other’s market share. Theres’ the “no gambling” faction, the Indian Gambling faction, the Legalized States Gaming interests, and there are the offshore interests. All four factions grease both sides of the wheel, and some also rally some of the wingnut factions to arms when they want to beat down one of the other interest lobbies. (e.g. Indian Gaming Abramoff / Reed,; Legal Gambling, Reid are examples of two competing factions)

Right. Opposing internet gambling would be beneficial to the casino house. Which of course are now dispersed throughout the United States. So there are as you state opposing sides that battle each other on secular (since I brought up the moral objection by way of Focus on the Family) for or financial reasons. Inidan gaming of course means that people no longer have to travel from New Mexico to Las Vegas, etc. So that was a loss for Vegas.
