Teen Poker Playing An Epidemic

Give me a break! People are flipping their top over the fact that kids play cards. You add a few chips in the mix and suddenly it's a social issue. I didn't hear anyone complaining about 'Go Fish'. And why not? We are a nation obbsessed about what other people should be telling us or our children to do. The common sense rule applies here. Should you let your kids play poker for hours at a time? Probably not. But you sure as hell will let them sit in front of the idiot tube won't you, oh yeah, no max on that, but Billy is tired of watching the O.C., and no bad influences there, and wants a littel social interaction so he was some friends over to play poker. And how the hell does Billy even know what Texas Hold 'Em is? HE SAW IT ON TELEVISION. HMMM. WOW. Buck up MOM, get your ass off the couch DAD. Quit listening to every public advocate and be a parent.
