Remember all of those small countries that became havens for off-shore
trusts? They realized that they can attract money simply by being one of the
best places to put money. Ever wonder why the government does not shut down
all of the internet casinos? Because they operate in foreign countries that
not only tolerate them but perhaps benefit from their presence. Oops, I
didn't mean to preach this much.


Speaking of online casions the easy to eliminate them is for the us government
to just ban ads for online casions. The casinos rely on ads for their customers
and most of the large advertisment providers with the big exposure that the
casinos need are based in the us. problem solved. The casinos go out of business
and everyone is happy.

Except the casino owners who are, after all, engaged in a legitimate
business, in a country where it is legal, and who now have been
impacted.

If you really think this is a good idea, there's not much more I can
say. There is nothing intrinsically *wrong* with gambling, although I
consider excessive gambling a bit of an intelligence test. (gamble
excessively, and you fail)
