Quote of the Day

“California’s hypocrisy on gambling policy is appalling. The state arbitrarily condemns and prohibits some forms of gambling, while permitting other forms in Indian casinos and card rooms, and even actively promoting it through the California Lottery. Some may gamble irresponsibly, and a small percentage may become addicted to gambling, but these vices or mental health issues should not constitute crimes … California should simply get off its faux moral high horse and legalize all forms of gambling.” — The Orange County Register, on attempts to legalize Internet poker in the Golden State.
