who would have thought it would come to this?? Really ??? Recently, this past month, this came into law in Kansas. Seems as our dudes up in Topeka has decided that Poker runs are now considered "gambling". So they have banned them and have made them yet another stupid illegal act. I hate to see this happen, although I have not been to one ever, but know of a few that have benefited from the outcome. We have so many individuals who the poker runs were started for. Do the legislators not know just how much money is donated to good causes through these poker runs???? I personally have a friend with Kidney failure disease, who recieved thousands of dollars for her treatment and hopefully kidney transplant, after someone started a poker run just for her. NOt to mention many others with cancer, kids that were hurt, Teens in car wrecks, injured servicemen/women, different charities and so on. They, ( the suits) say that getting cards from new decks is chance, but having them dealt all at once is skill.... what the helll???? Like one can determine what card is going to come up next for his hand???? This is just a crock!!! I cant believe it actually went into law!!! I think if things had been looked at differently, things could have made a difference, Like maybe taking out the winninghand $$$ or even the prizes, then it would be just a charitable donation with the fun of a ride and a dinner served. But then what would be the driving force to get the crowds there???? I know.... free beeer???? At any rate, I think somehow, they could have saved the poker runs here in Kansas had someone put some thought into it..... What will they think of next!!!! grrrrrrr!
