Online poker editorial runs in Denver Post

[The Buzz]

Vincent Carroll of The Denver Post wrote an editorial today entitled "Online Poker Hysteria" that said that Congress legalize and license online wagering.

Carroll says that he is an opponent of land-based casinos and has been against gambling expansion in his home state of Colorado for years.

However, he says it's none of his business on how his neighbors spend their leisure time in relation to online gambling.

As for protecting children, Frank himself may have said it best. "You cannot run a free society by prohibiting adults from doing what you don't want children to do," the chairman of the House Financial Services Committee declared in a recent interview with a Nevada radio station. Children can't smoke, drink, watch certain movies or use credit cards. If online gambling is ever legalized, they'll be barred from that as well.
