On the recordOctober 1, 2002
Imagine, if you will, if you heard news from home that they had built a casino next to your house, and, worse than that, they had invited your kids over to gamble in the casino which was built next door. You would say that was about as bad a news as you could receive. But it is actually worse than that. Sitting right on the computer desk in your home, or better still up in your child's bedroom, is a computer. On that computer today, there is a child-accessible casino, because we have got 1,500 offshore, and they are offshore, this may address the last speaker's concerns, because it is against the law in all 50 States to operate these Internet gambling sites. It is against the law in all the States, so they are all offshore. Your child could go in, he could turn on his computer, and he could gamble. Mr. Speaker, I have five children. I knew nothing about this.
