We Have The Right to Poker Freedom!

As I write this blog I find an emotion inside me that I don’t often have; ANGER! With all of the freedom of speech, freedom of lifestyle and freedom of choice available in developed countries I still find hypocrites. These are global government hypocrites that blurt the word FREEDOM as often as some people blurt out the words I LOVE YOU. Who are these people? These people give us the right to FREEDOM yet pull the wool over our eyes and also take it away! How dare they take the freedom to online game away from us; EVER!

Poker is well known as not just a game but a lifestyle. This “Lifestyle” is a lifestyle that most people who will read this blog post live in one way or another. It hurts no-one, it is a source of income and it keeps people entertained where they may otherwise be bored out of their minds to the point of even committing crimes.

I stopped and thought about a magician I once saw perform at Darling Harbor in Sydney. The guy pulled off some amazing illusions and alike other buskers had a hat in front of him for donations. At the end of his performance he said, “Don’t walk away but support me; support my lifestyle, you see if I was not doing this as a way of income and entertainment right now I would probably be robbing your home!”. I put $10 is in his little hat and thought to myself “I was just conned”. But was I?

It is likely he would rob my home; he looked like a robber anyway and also admitted to it. Imagine if no-one donated to this man! Imagine his lifestyle. No money, no self entertainment, his lifestyle pointless, fruitless and well lifeless. Taking away the right to play online poker, online casino games and other associated “gambling” takes the same from those who have this life. The Poker Players Alliance fights for us daily to legalize online gaming. How did it even get to this considering the historical fights for FREEDOM?!

As with every activity online gaming costs money, you can be a champion, you can be a loser but we know you WILL be entertained! STOP; STOP right now and imagine the next year without it!

There have been talks to block poker sites in Australia (It is in the governments hit list; basically compared to PORN!), the USA has already been hit with bans; it is the same in many European countries. Already here in Australia I cannot play on Carbon Poker, Unibet and many more!

To the Australian government hypocrites that promised myself and my family FREEDOM if my grandfather went to war, to the government of the USA who has soldiers dying daily protecting the USA’s FREEDOM, to the European countries governments that have FREEDOM slowly but surely awakening, STOP, all of you STOP and think of the definition of the word FREEDOM. Think of who has died to give it and the human suffering that has occurred. Think of not just yourself but others, because FREEDOM is not FREEDOM unless we are totally FREE to live the lifestyle we choose and this Sirs and Madams includes a lifestyle of online gaming!

Even if you don’t play poker or online game; remember:

Your lifestyle, hobby or enjoyment COULD be next! SO watch it! ;)

AMEN Poker Players Alliance!
