bye bye, mr. goss!

First of all, let me state for the record: I love poker myself, and there is nothing inherently wrong with gambling. All games of chance should be legal provided they don't violate another's rights. As for prostitution, I believe that it is inherently wrong, but that it should nonetheless be legal between consenting adults. The sole purpose of the law is to protect the rights of others. The government is not a moral authority, and it should not pass laws designed to make people "behave better".

Having said that...ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!! Porter is in trouble, Porter is in trouble! It's quite gratifying to see people in positions of power who have made and/or enforced all kinds of stupid laws and stolen their salaries at gunpoint from the taxpayers...run afoul of the law. As a congressman, Goss was a sponsor of the tyrannical USA PATRIOT Act.

I never much cared for Goss, if you couldn't guess that already. I remember after Hurricane Charley, when residents of Florida's Sanibel and Captiva islands were blocked from returning to their homes for a week or two by armed federal guards posted at the islands' bridges and ports, Mr. Goss made an aerial survey of the islands via helicopter. You see, Goss has a home on Sanibel, and he's special, so he not only gets to go home, but he gets to fly over everybody else's home, unlike the other residents. I saw him interviewed from the helicopter (while it was on the ground), and man, I have to say he really came off as an arrogant SOB.
