Did anyone watch 60 minutes Sunday night? It was about Online Poker [and how evil it is] and had segments on Absolute Bet and Ultimate Poker and the "cheating scandal" of last year and how "no online poker site is regulated" [which is a lie] and about the Khawanke [sorry for spelling] commission, where it is, how its run and by whom

I found the entire segment, ridiculous, bad press and not what we needed to have on TV!

No, I didn't see that one, but I think it's another government ploy to get the general public thinking it's bad to play poker.
Portraying it as: It's evil and will make you do dangerous things; i.e., taking drugs, excessive drinking, and so on down the evil list.

There must be another voting season coming up somewhere, or there's another bill about to be passed.

Just keep your eyes open for that one.

Why else would they publicize poker as being bad?

So when they do pass some law against poker, not many people will give it a second thought (poker's bad, so it's ok to pass a law against it
