		<description>This is madness. I live in fort lauderdale, florida and there are at least 10 places where i can play poker, within a 45 minute drive. So its ok for me to go out into public and play poker, but not ok to play in the privacy of my own home. What has happen to true freedom in this country. I&#039;m afraid it&#039;s been lost long ago. How paranoid of our lovely government. God forbid they miss out on something. There is a simple solution......LEGALIZE IT. Then they wont miss a thing a can get their greedy *%#$( paid too. This is really a joke, and as someone who keeps a large amount in my poker account, i do hope this situation gets resolved quickly.</description>

		<description>Well, as a &quot;religious&quot; person, I feel that the comment left by Ken is grossly inaccurate regarding those of faith. It is not my mission (nor many other &quot;religious&quot; persons to dictate what other people can and cannot do. This is not about religion, it is about the government. if they are so worried about underage gambling etc, what about other underage activities such as viewing of pornography? It is easier for a 12 year old to view porn than it is for them to play on most poker sites. I feel as a citizen of the US my free will is being limited due to someone else&#039;s choice as to what is or is not acceptable. I would like to decide that for myself. As for the comment left by Jane, I agree with you. Why waste tax dollars and time on this? Jails are overfilled with the wrong people... Let&#039;s crack down on child molesters, rapists and murderers. I don&#039;t care about neighborhood Joe and his dime bag, give him a fine and save the space for the sickos.</description>

		<description>Why do I get the feeling the government is more and more becoming the moral police?  Tobacco, gambling, and gay marriage becoming more restricted... meanwhile the feds continue to raid medical marijuana dispensaries.  We&#039;re going in the wrong direction.</description>

		<description>I dont know why the government thinks they should poke their nose into what I do in the privacy of my home the nine men in black robes have said my bed room is off limits my online poker playing should be the same.  my state has a law that says no poker pot can exceed 300 dollars and I usually play at levels on my poker site that respect that law.  I usually only put 100$ per month in my account as it happens i havent put any money in my account for 60 days so I think the government should mind their own business</description>

		<description>What is going on?

As if the government doesn&#039;t have enough to do they find time to mess with joe poker player. Who does this government represent? They certainly don&#039;t seem to represent me or my interests. I thought the new regime was going to clean up the doo doo that the last one tracked all over the place, things like the UIGEA which was passed under very suspicious circumstances. 

The argument is religious groups and the NFL lobbied to get that passed. Why do religious people care what I do in the privacy of my own home? The NFL is just selfish self interest, no comment needed there. But with the church crowd, who are you to tell me how to believe or what to do? AND DO NOT give me that crap about you have to pay for blah, blah, blah. I dont recall anyone paying for me or any mistake I have  made. I get the bill and I have to clean up  my own mess. I dont see churches going around paying off mortgages for people losing their homes, or giving jobs to the unemployed etc. This is simply about some people don&#039;t like poker or gambling and they feel it shouldn&#039;t be allowed to exist. Well that is not how a free country works. Now that regular working people are being impacted by these stupid abuses of governmental power, you will see the American people get active and start exercising their rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.</description>
