Think I was more aiming my comments at extremist religious groups which seem to be opposed to lots of stuff.

But then again you're right that those are the ones which seem to like fewer laws both local and national .... less government interference in all aspects of our lives. You're absolutely right, I stand corrected.

I highly value and respect your opinion Konane but I'm hard-pressed to come up with issues the far-right seeks to deny everybody simply because they don't like them, save maybe flag-burning by some. There's also certain religious groups on the right that oppose anyone drinking alcohol here in the Bible Belt (and they are the bane of my existence). Outside of that, I can't think of anything comparable to the damper the left wants to put on seemingly every aspect of our lives. Laws, laws, laws.... [ More ]

At the same risk of being called out for politicizing I agree with you.

However would add that any extreme view either far-right or far-left would fall into the mindset you so aptly described if a person doesn't want to play online, they don't want anybody to be allowed to play online.

Seems both extremes exist as mirror images of each other in their same small world, and everyone else exists in the real world. Just my opinion.

At the risk of being called out on politicizing a thread, I just wanted to marvel for a moment at the parallels with the political spectrum seen so clearly here.

It would appear a person on the right would support freedom and the option to play online if he/she so desired.

On the left, if a person doesn't want to play online, they don't want anybody to be allowed to play online.

No offense to anyone; I just find that incredibly interesting.

Even more interesting is that this polariza... [ More ]

It would be nice for people in computerized States to be able to play in other States with non-computerized drawings. I support allowing playing other Lotteries across state lines. I don't like online CASINOS because they are by nature computerized and thus have the same issues as computerized Lottery drawings, but worse because those online casinos can track your win/loss ratio and make sure you're not being unfairly lucky.

online gambling? oh boy. That somebody can gamble away all their money from the comfort of their studio apartment is not the way to go, I dont think. I know I know, people do the same thing when they walk to the store but if think about it, the latter one involves some physical effort. Besides the embarrassment of being seen at the store spending crazy amounts of money on lotto is absent in online gambling. I'm jus saying.

Hopefully, if successful, this can be a slight foot-in-the-door that may facilitate an easing of opposition to online lottery play across state lines.

As would be expected though, the wishes of most of the politicians are in direct conflict with those of the people.
