I would have a hard time believing the motivation of a bar owner whose stated reason for supporting a ban on drinking at home was to protect alcoholics from harming themselves.

If they chose to exit their business, I might believe they had a change of heart. Absent that, it seems like an awfully thin cover that only someone who REALLY REALLY needed to believe it could believe.

If Sheldon Adelson believes gambling is doing so much harm, how does he sleep at night? Or is gambling at a brick and mortar casino that he owns less harmful?

Why should he stop at Internet Gambling?
You spoke of alcohol and thus you probably just exposed his next project to ban that too (except in his casino of course). I wonder what happened the last time alcohol was prohibited? Interesting thought.


Its funny how this man is a walking hypocrisy and even more amusing is how the ones who hold his spit cup defend him. Comedy Gold!
