As I seem to find so often, I really think Oz brings up some great points. here. A lot of sober reflection in his comments. If you dont agree, thats fine. But I think it will be hard for anyone to dicount his arguments, especially since, as he mentioned, he is all FOR online poker being allowed.

In order for anyone to male any headway in getting any new laws passed, any change set in motion of any kind, it is imperative to know what the opposition has to say. If you only listen to your own convincing arguments, and are fueled by all your friends and supporters who insist that your arguments are sensible and irrefutable (as they may even be), you need to understand that the converted are not who you are trying to reach.

Listen to your foes, study their arguments. look for what makes sense and where they actually have valid points. Then look for solutions and alternatives to these points.

Gambling addiction exists, and is a very real problem that poker opponents can use and generate very real trepidation to the uninformed layman. To write these people off as idiots and unimportant, while even if occasionally true, will not help influence the uniformed public in any positive way. Only by addressing the inherent problems ourselves can we, as a poker community, create any understanding and support from the as yet uninvolved public.
