DL:
Vanessa
1. How much reach should the government have in controlling things
like gambling?
2. Is it ethical for people to rebel against laws they see as
unjust? like outlawing gambling or alcohol?
3. Why is it so easy to make money running a casino, or game
house?
4. Why do you think betting on horses was seen as fine at the
time, but not any other form of gambling?
5. Why do you think certain games were seen as "peasant games"
while some were seen as more noble or aristocratic?
6. Why do you think gambling remained so prevalent, despite so
many attempts to curtail it?
