Ad Solution

The Justice Department's campaign to suppress advertising for online casinos may be a boon to companies outside the U.S. that can offer gambling sites alternative ways of luring customers. Yesterday the U.K.-based AskWinner.com announced a new system for charging advertisers by the number of players attracted through its casino review site. "Online casinos and sportbooks have a new, effective way to advertise on internet," says the company's press release. "A few weeks after big search engines and PPC companies dropped online casinos ads, http://www.askwinner.com (the leading guide to online casinos and Las Vegas casinos) announces the release of a new pay-per-visitor advertising solution."

No comments yet? And the American Idol post got (44)? It’s tough for me to get worked up about yet another bullethole in the First Amendment, either, but still.

[Quotes on Liberty]

Anything we say would be preaching to the choir.

And… here is the choir:

Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err. It passes my comprehension how human beings, be they ever so experienced and able, can delight in depriving other human beings of that precious right — Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi

I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations. — James Madison

The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical or moral, is not sufficient warrant. — John Stuart Mill (1806-1873), On Liberty, Chapter 1

All government, of course, is against liberty. — H. L. Mencken

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their consciences. C.S. Lewis [American Rifleman, December 1991, pg. 14]

Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add ‘within the limits of the law,’ because law is often but the tyrant’s will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual. — Thomas Jefferson

There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences. — P.J. O’Rourke
