Default Internet Gambling

60 minutes did a show about how popular internet gambling has gotten and how it is illegal. I think it should be legal and taxed. Any thoughts?

I think the government has better things to do than try to keep people from voluntarily losing their shirts.

This is a social problem inasmuch it will undoubtedly produce more and bigger gambling addicts, but that's not a reason to ban it.

It's less dangerous than Internet RPGs. At least internet gamblers run out of money and need to get jobs.
But as usual, I say this is not the government's duty.
