The Supreme Court on Monday gave its go-ahead for states to allow gambling on sports across the nation, striking down a federal law that barred betting on football, basketball, baseball and other sports in most states.
The shells are flying again in the culture wars. As a right-of-center American, I’ve been told I’m out-of-step, out-of-touch and a bigot because I won’t respect the cultural changes being foisted upon the country at warp speed.
