You sound like a spoiled brat, a self-righteous one at that.

Grow up, and quit trying to make rules that override adults' free will.

I make no rules about gambling; how could I do that? I don't even
object to The Brat gambling, because I know she's not addictive.

I just think it's harmful to a lot of people, and I'd vote against it
given the opportunity.
