LOL! Then I suggest you stop participating in these discussions.

Why? The government comes and takes away our rights to play poker and we shouldn't talk about it? They come and take away our rights to eat a Happy Meal and we shouldn't talk about it? If they come and take away our rights to alcohol (again), then we shouldn't talk about it? Sorry, I just don't see the point of your approach. This country was founded on individual rights. The Ninth Amendment in particular makes it pretty clear that we have a lot of rights.

Well, people thought that here in California when they tried to legalize marijuana but they were wrong.

And what kind of future is that for our nation: you have the right to do something [B]only if[/B] the government can turn an additional profit from it. Thanks, but no thanks.

I'll get over my right to play poker as soon as you get over your right to free speech. After all, the government isn't taxing and regulating your words, so why should you be allowed to speak?

Besides, there's really no where to get. The government has been in the business of "protecting" people from themselves by taking away their rights for some time now and people in America are generally OK with that. This is just a byproduct of that whole movement. I expect we'll lose further rights in the name of "the greater good", "protecting the children", etc. Our forefathers must be turning in their graves.
