Online gambling

Following Britain's lead, European countries are rushing to legalize online gambling and benefit from taxing it. Hard to imagine such a thing happening here, where our Puritan roots are deep. But governments do pass up extraordinary revenue by pushing "sin" into the alley. Legalized gambling, drugs and prostitution not only could increase revenue but decrease the criminal activities associated with them. I am for legalizing sin. You'll never get rid of it. Why not take advantage of it?
