From the article,

> the U.S. Republican Sen. Jon Kyl of Arizona agrees. He's sponsoring legislation that would make Internet gambling illegal. "I don't believe it can be regulated, so we must prohibit it," says Mr. Kyl<

Is this man really a Senator? Unbelievable! Govt. now trying to protect us all from ourselves, for we cannot be trusted to manage our own behaviors, like smoking, drinking, sexuality, and of course, gambling in the privacy of our own homes! This Senator thinks we are all naughty little children who require the US Govt. to control our behavior. Give me a break.

Herc,
Yes, the Elot loophole is a good one. Good for ELOT, if they manage to operate "legally," with the govt. profiting from sales. The govt's view here seems to be that if Uncle Sam profits, then gambling online is not a "vice". Incredible.
