Superbowl Gambling and Silly Laws

Knowing the way things work on the Internet, the phrase "Superbowl gambling" will gain this posting a massive amount of hits? Why is that? Just because gambling -- whether it is on football or the NCAA Tournament -- may well be America's real pastime. As Al Neuharth, the founder of USA Today points out, the sheer popularity of gambling makes governmental efforts to stop it look downright silly.

I couldn't agree more. Although I'm not much of a casino gambler, putting a few bucks on NFL games and filling out a bracket sheet for March Madness are enjoyable and time-honored traditions. Government meddlers need to leave us alone.

Free-for-all (frfr-ôl) -- n. A disorderly fight, argument, or competition in which everyone present participates.
