How the hell does stuff like this pass? (Score 1)

Even though I am a Brit, I am a big fan of the U.S constitution, well, when its upheld anyway ;-) And I really do not understand how gambling can be illegal? If anything, all it is, is a moral law / church law. Its your money isn't it? You do what you like with it. Or should be allowed to anyway.

I recently read an excellent book all about the absurdity of consenual crimes in America so I'd like to recommend it right here. link
It's worth a read just for the vast array of excellent quotes that occupy each page :-)
