It’s not law yet, but the Republican controlled congress is trying to stop internet gambling. The proposed law¹ would put banks in charge of enforcing anti-gambling laws, and not make the gambling itself illegal, just the acceptance of credit cards. Some say this idiotic approach won’t work ². Critics say that it’s too difficult to sort out which locales are legal to gamble in and which aren’t. It’s true this would be a difficult task for banks to accomplish, but it’s obviously doable. It could be done the same way sales tax is figured.

Personally, I think gambling is a really bad thing, but I support anyone’s educated choice to gamble. I also think it’s a bad idea to have banks or other businesses to act in any kind of law enforcement manner at all.
