    If you're conservative and hang out here, you probably have the same thoughts I did.

    <blockquote>
    At its heart, gambling is as American as football (something to bet on) and stock exchanges (legal betting parlors). The entire American experience is a story of gamble after gamble, of risk after risk.

    It is a story of men and women who sailed across oceans looking for something that might not exist. Of families who picked up their possessions and headed out West, facing perilous danger, risking much for a possible reward of a new life in a faraway land. Of capitalism, which created all that we know materially today, gambling that their ideas and products would be valued by others enough that they would prosper. Along the way, many failed. Such is the life of a gambler.

    The result of a mindset where risk is allowed and even encouraged is the greatness of this nation. This gambling spirit is something to be conserved, not something to be legislating against.
