Rolling the Dice

The recent media reports about the sweepstakes challenge in Jefferson County reminds me that gambling is the one vice that our society has decided should be open to children but not adults -- unless the adult wants to play the children's games.

It's somewhat strange to me that a majority in our state wring their hands over gambling but then turn around and allow their children to gamble under the "Chuck E. Cheese" Law -- presumably because it's just harmless fun.
