Problem gamblers go unprotected

I can see that the Consumer Protection Agency will again fail to protect people with gambling addiction and our underaged youths from gambling addiction.

They will brag about how they set up a site to allow removal of the exposure and influence of gambling for people who want or need a way to get out of seeing gambling sites. I think they are putting the cart before the horse. You do not show people you want to protect the vice, sin, or joy (however you want to classify it) from it. You prevent or educate them before they are exposed to it.

So, I ask why we must have to go through the added online aggravation to be excluded from exposure to gambling sites.

History has shown that people who want to gamble have always found a way to do it. I think they should have made people who want to gamble have to go through the trouble of going to a Consumer Protection site to find the portals to get to the gambling sites.

Before you tell me how naïve I am, I know the state wants the tax dollars gambling generates for our state. I also know that it would be next to impossible to prevent sites to clutter up the internet with more ads I do not want to see.
