Bennett's statement:

Statement of William J. Bennett: 'A number of stories in the media have
reported that I have engaged in high stakes gambling over the past decade.
It is true that I have gambled large sums of money. I have also complied
with all laws on reporting wins and losses.

Nevertheless, I have done too much gambling, and this is not an example I
wish to set. Therefore, my gambling days are over.'

I think its kind of ashame when the media can turn someone's life all
upset down or take something they legally enjoy and make them
miserable to do it anymore...Just my 2 cents...

If anyone deserves such treatment, it's Bill Bennett. As drug czar,
he advocated putting people in *prison* because he didn't approve of
their personal choices in entertainment.

It's a shame that the media made Mr Bennett feel a little bad. If
instead they threw the man into a cage for the rest of his life, that
might begin to compare to the damage he helped do to tens of
thousands of non-violent citizens.
