I think it's good to finally have a charasmatic leader for the Poker Players alliance. Nothing against Michael Bolcerek, but he was a little hesitant sometimes in front of cameras. I'm sure D'amato will be completely the opposite and won't let anxiety get in the way of what he really wants to say.
It's sad that we're even talking about this. The only comments you ever read on the subject are always negative. That's the problem though, the only people who pay attention or even care about the subject are poker players. The people who don't play poker could care less whether it was made illegal or not. Most people are sympathetic when you tell them the reasons it got banned, but hell they could care less. There was a glimple of an interview with D'Amato at Cardplayer about what he plans to do, yada yada yada. The first section didnt' go into much depth but hopefully the second interview has more of a plan of action for US poker players.
The only real way to make any dent in my opinion would to launch a campaign that showed how the bill was passed etc. Although the passing of bills in the same manner occur all the time, it's ludacrious if you ask me. I was talking to my friend at Cardschat.com about what most players were doing these days. Things slowed down dramatically after the Neteller incident but hell, people are beginning to play again and gain confidence in the new payment processors that come out.
Anyways, it will be interesting to see what comes out of this whole mess. You never know, this just might make the poker sites even more powerful as they expand into different countries and go global.
I sure hope so. Back was I was a kid these are the types of games we used to play. While Zelda was and still is the best game in my opinion, I never really played Wii.

Lol yup, breaking down doors and all.
Now talk about a late April fools joke. That is the most retarded thing I've ever heard. How does an iPod have anything to do with "learning"
I've read some other stuff by Paul McDougall. Total waste of text if you ask me....

The PS3 can never be too cheap. :)
Word of mouth no doubt. I think that's Apple's biggest advantage. Their ads are still garbage imo.
The way development housing is shooting up they've got a long task ahead of them. :)
