Re: The ISP's aren't going to do anything

I doubt the state would be so heavily involved in gambling itself by way of the lottery.
Hypocrisy knows no socio-economic limitations.The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is also heavily involved in gambling, as in State Lottery, and their legislative body outlaws gambling in any other capacity but for allowing residents to purchase that state lottery card.

It is hypocrisy; however I see no evidence to support your contention that gambling restrictions exist to placate the religious right.

States with commercial, privately owned, non-Indian casinos include states such as Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Mississippi, South Dakota and (ahem) Pennsylvania. Minnesota has legal horse race gambling and poker in a politically conservative suburb 30 min south of Minneapolis.

If "bible thumping fundies" and "religious nutjobs" were the source of gambling restrictions as you stated, I seriously doubt that such states would have chosen to allow casino gambling on top of state lotteries.
