LEAVE ME THE ^!! ALONE!
I feel better now.
Its amazing how often we decide that the politicians do not really know what is in our best interests and stage a little private, individual protest, even though it means we are breaking the law.
How many of you decided that 55 mph was ridiculous and drove faster?
Know anyone that smoked a Cuban cigar?
Ever taken medicines from someone else's prescription or taken your meds from the labeled bottle and placed them in a pill case?
Ever bought something on the Internet from out-of-state and not paid any State's sales tax?
All are crimes, some are felonies. Yet you all know someone that is an otherwise law-abiding, upstanding, respectable citizen that has committed at least one of these acts, probably yourself! "Now son, this is the medicine the doctor gave me last year for the same thing. I'm going to put a couple in this bottle so you can take them with you to school and" Oops.
Now, "they" want to block Internet access to "illegal" gambling sites. I play on some of these sites, for free! It's FUN! But "they" want to ban them. I also play, for free, through AOL games. Is that Internet domain going to be seized as well, or just the politically incorrect sites?
Proving the sites have blocked KY users is pointless. If someone really wanted to, they can always route through anonymous, international servers to gain access. But if the politicians admitted that, they wouldn't have their names all over the paper!
But if this succeeds, what will they grab next as being criminal, sites that don't charge KY sales tax? Hmm, taxes, and publicity, bet that's what this is all about anyway!

Soon if this bill passes they will be telling us we can't cross the bridge to go gamble. Just like it is agaist the law to purchase fireworks and bring them back.

Beshear wants to ban gambling online, because his casino bill flopped. My guess is that, he thinks taking away online gambling will make it easier to force the casino bill down our throats the next time around.
If they pass a bill banning people from playing poker online, then pass the casino law, I'll never set foot in a Kentucky casino. Indiana would get any bit of tax revenue from me, if I ever decided to go to a casino.

It's the idea of what they're doing that's more disturbing than the actual action.
Web censorship should not be allowed, period. China does not agree with me.

What they're doing is just an exercise in futility, anyway. All the website has to do is change their domain name and they're back in business.

I just wish that they would let the people vote! This is supposed to be a democracy, not a dictatorship!
