Well except for state lotteries and horse racing. Hmmmmmmm.

The House voted 317-93 for the bill, which would allow authorities to work with Internet providers to block access to gambling Web sites.

Wonder if this has any future ramifications for porn?

Reps. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., and Jim Leach, R-Iowa sponsored the bill. They successfully beat back an amendment to strip out exemptions in the legislation for the horse racing industry and state lotteries.

Leach said the problem is particularly acute for young people who are frequently on the Internet. "Never before has it been so easy to lose so much money so quickly at such a young age," he said.

Yet you'll still allow these same young people to lose their saving in state lotteries and horse racing? Or are you saying that state lotteries and horse racing aren't addictive forms of gambling?

Critics argued that regulating the $12 billion industry would be better than outlawing it. Said Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., "Prohibition didn't work for alcohol. It won't work for gambling."

Now there is a smart person. Considering the deficits we are running up due to the huge tax cuts by Bush you'd think bringing in an extra source of revenue to the US coffers would be welcomed.
