Dont forget who ur arguing with here... Ivy is more likely than not taking the moral high ground here. Where gambling and usury are immoral, also is breaking the law.

I guess usury and gambling are both immoral from a religious stand point. Personally, i have no qualms about gambling or promoting gambling. Its immoral, yes, but i dont feel its one of those things Saint Petes gonna hold against me. Personally id like for the gov to decriminalize bookmaking. Not legalize it mind you! Keep it illegal. The state is to inept to make a budget id like to see them handicap fucking basketball teasers. Go after any OC/Terrorist affiliated book and leave the rest alone..

As far as South Philly goes.. They could have run every video poker machine in the city, it doesnt justify spending anymore than the money needed to pay the men who seized the machines.
