There is a lot of buzz about Sheldon Adelson's latest salvo against online gaming in Forbes Magazine.

I agree. I don't like the idea of online gaming, even regulated online gaming including online poker.
I don't object to online gaming that is free to play and is sponsored by brick and mortar casinos as a way to introduce consumers to brick and mortar gaming establishments. I don't object to online casinos that are free to play and award prizes or even cash that is funded by advertising.
I don't like the idea that people can sit at home and can play at all hours, sitting in their underwear, in front of a computer screen without even as much effort as having to get up out of their chair to walk to an ATM.
I know that online gaming is soon going to be a reality across the country, and it will be "approved" because of government regulation and potential tax revenue. But in the long run it will be a mistake.
If government wants more revenue then expand brick and mortar casino gambling which at least can police who comes through the doors and can offer more regulation than an online password.
