Point taken. Being relegated to playing on Bovada makes me cranky. I can admit that not everything government does is bad (sort of like understanding you never say "always" or "never" in poker). That being said, when you give government too much power, you get sh*t like the UIGEA, the TSA, the Patriot Act, TARP, the "War on Drugs", perpetual war...well, you get the point.
On the positive side, how about those Red So....ah sh*t. never mind.

The internet, interstate highway system, going to the f*cking moon, atomic energy, clean food/air/water, and a dozen other things, as well.
The "free market" gave us sweatshops, company towns, and economic depression. You know what happens when you give private enterprise too much power? The Blackwater Baghdad shootings. Within 2 minutes, anybody could find a dozen things that the government has done wrong. And, 2 minutes after that, you can find a dozen things that private enterprise or the free market has screwed up. Advocating a blind adherence to either view is wrong-headed.

This. When the market reopens to U.S. players it will be like the heavens have opened up and the angels are smiling down on players from other countries again.
