Thanks Bryan for that post. I couldn't agree more, and it needed to be said. Silcnlayc has the right idea, she's been writing senators, congressman, the Whitehouse, radio and tv stations, newspapers, etc. since this started. If every single US poster here did the same, and signed petitions...maybe even started a petition of their own, you just never know what kind of snowball effect you could start. This is NOT a slam against anyone in particular here, but over the last year or two here, I have noticed so many people who are more than willing to naysay and voice a negative opinion about something - but who will actually do very little in a proactive sense. Have you guys ever heard that old saying "if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem?" That really is relevant here. If I were a US citizen, I'd be knocking on my neighbour's doors with a petition in my hand, I'd be down at the local radio station, I'd be hounding the editor of the local newspaper until someone agreed to talk to me...and give this thing some exposure.
What I see happening is a form of mass panic taking over on a lot of fronts...operators, affiliates, players and press. Now is the time when you should all be fighting against this, and if you don't do your part, then you shouldn't complain "if" the US Government ever does actually succeed in making online gaming illegal. Are there no true "activists/crusaders" among this crowd?
*stepping down off soapbox*...rant over!!
on my lap no matter how hard i rub it.....
I presume you meant "criminalize" it.
