Default Consider for a moment

If a liberal intellectual (and some might consider this an oxymoron) were to play the stock market with a rather large sum of money than he had earned from various legal sources, and over the years still provided amply for his family, but ended up losing $10 million, would this same condemnation apply to him as it does to William Bennett? If his hobby was making risky investments, hoping for the home run of pay-offs, would anybody care?

In those places where Bennet practiced his hobby, is gambling illegal? Did he commit any crime? And one of you Biblical scholars show me where gambling is considered a sin by my Lord. All this condemnation of Bennett is simply liberal whining, trying to demonize someone because they have nothing positive to bring to the table, nothing contructive, just bitching, complaining, and negativity.
