I love freedom, yet hate when people talk about their fantasy sports like people give AF.

It’s a tough call, but I’ll go with freedom.

That's a horrible reason for an adult to vote a certain way.

I don't gamble. I don't care if anyone else gambles. But I read an interesting article about FanDuel. It seems that 90% of the money is won by 10% of the players. It's their full time job.

No, it isn’t. And frankly, I think you’re the first person I’ve ever seen conflate the localization of Government with the “size” of government.

By your metric, Louisiana criminalizing religion would constitute “small government”

This is true. The trick is to create a private league with your buddies to keep all the sharks out. Been doing this the past few years with my baws up here in Rhode Island and its been great.


Vote Yes!

You are mistaken, man. It’s quite the opposite. Small govt = less restrictions.

Everything they do not let us do and everything they require a permit/liscense for us to do is a restriction.

The daily fantasy nerds were being disingenuous claiming it wasn't gambling.


Either that, or they simply weren't being careful with their language. I know professional poker players who would consider it fighting words for someone to call what they do gambling. Again, just comes down to how you define the term.

I'll be curious to see how many "freedom loving small government conservatives" are inclined to vote against this.


frick those hypocrites.

I'm voting yes.

We don't need the government to control every aspect of our life.

What possible reasons are there to vote against this measure?

Anyone who does is clearly no fan of personal liberty.
