If the mob keeps it where I don't have to see it, then it's not my problem. I'd rather live in a city with illegal gambling done in private than in a city where the street is lined with casinos and gambling propaganda. Keep that shit in Vegas where it's easy for me to avoid.

I wish they'd ban adverting of state lotteries too. Those ads are the worst, most insulting, most idiotic. A celebration of mindless materialism and short-term thinking. These ads celebrate the fact that most lottery winners blow it all on stupid shit then end up back at square one a few years later. It's flagrant exploitation of the dimwitted; the least they could do is not flaunt it on huge billboards all across town.
