Once in the not so distant past, poker was consider a bad thing. A sin to some. Now with all the media coverage professional poker players can finally raise their eyes up to meet their neighbors' and say with pride what they do for a living. And now ironically those peers are envious of the pros who no longer have that negative stigma about them. The dregs of society have now become our champions of nightly TV entertainment.
And my last point is a serious one.
I view taking the degenerate gamblers money in a different light than most of you do.
I am helping them by taking their money.
When does an alcoholic or any addict for that matter get help?
When they hit rock bottom, that's when.
I am these sad addicts 12 step program.
I'm doing it for them Mel.
So I ask everyone to heed my words and help these poor gamblers' souls. Take there money today.
I shall now pass around the collection plate. Give what you can. We like the kind that jingles but we prefer the kind that folds.
