Internet Gambling Debate Goes On

The Washington Post today is reporting that congress is debating to ban online gambling. This has been tried before and failed, so why are they still at it? Online gambling is legal in the UK and they have decided that instead of fighting a losing battle, they will embrace and regulate it. The article talks about trying to stop payments to gambling websites and forcing ISP's to block Internet access to gambling web sites. I dont think this will ever happen and is a complete waste of time and resources. This is a complete waste of tax payers dollars. Washington state has already banned online gambling and I wonder how many people in that state have stopped.
