New Jersey Governor Christie signed a bill allowing New Jersey casinos to offer online gambling beginning next month. No sooner had he done so, he wondered whether he should have since it might promote addiction to gambling (unlike the permitted addiction to smoking), might result in some people losing the money they need to feed the family, etc.
Of course it will. And some will develop Poker Pee, an irresistible and uncontrollable desire to pee every time they hear the words "all in" or "double" or "ace high". As I feel like defecating, every time I hear some jackass politician telling me what I can and cannot do.
Christie, you better sit down or this will shock you:
You are not my caretaker nor my custodian nor my curator nor my conservator nor my shepherd nor my nurse nor my nanny nor my guardian angel. With a little bit of luck, you wouldn't be my governor either.
How many times must it be said?
THE GOVERNMENT'S SOLE FUNCTION IS TO SEE THAT WE HAVE AN ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH WE ARE FREE TO PURSUE OUR INTERESTS (INCLUDING POKER) AND ENJOY OUR INALIENABLE RIGHT TO LIVE OUR LIVES AS WE INDIVIDUALLY CHOOSE.
(And he wants to be President?)
