Letter: On theme of legalization, let’s speak sports wagering
Recently we influenced adult a pot a small by send a minute about legalizing marijuana. Today we noticed a minute from Mark J. Allen ancillary my position and commenting about my partner being killed.
I would like to contend to a minute author that substantially what creates my partner’s genocide totally vale and meaningless is that he was incidentally shot and killed by another patrolman who was covering a drug buy.
As strongly as we feel about a tranquil legalization of some drugs, we feel even stronger about a legalization of sports betting.
La Cosa Nostra, The Mafia, Organized Crime or whatever we wish to call them started to persperate years ago when off-track equine betting was authorized in many states. Why? Because it competence lead to ratified sports betting.
Why do we consider a Congress upheld a law prohibiting sports betting? Could it presumably be that a host does not wish this legalized? Duh.
I theory it’s not in a cards that we legalize sports betting and take in a millions, billions, and over a march of time trillions of dollars being wagered. I’m not even articulate about Internet gambling, only college and veteran sports.
Yeah, I’m a assuage libertarian and like Ron Paul. we wish reduction government, though distinct Ron Paul we wish a clever troops and some essential regulations.
The volume of revenues that could be gained by legalization of sports wagering is only astounding, and that’s substantially because it will never be legalized.
It does not matter how many laws are put on a book; there will always be those who play and use drugs.
Just like many Americans, we wish to live in a nation that promotes high dignified standards along with clever decent, ethical, and honest values. Believe me when we contend we can gamble on a Super Bowl and still welcome a above values.
