					<description><![CDATA[If you spend a week&#039;s wages for an opening night box at the opera, you are a patron of the arts. If you blow the kids&#039; college money for a Superbowl ticket, you are a fan, but if you drop a hundred in the slots or bingo cards you are a profligate wastrel and an enemy of the State.

					<description><![CDATA[I cannot follow his logic:

&quot;They say the leagues are skill games.  That position is not supportable in view of the variable, unpredictable human element that always is the basis for determining outcome from game to game and week to week.&quot;

If there&#039;s human elements involved, doesn&#039;t that make it a game of skill?  I thought what made a game a &quot;game of chance&quot; was the removal of all informed choice and the substition of machine elements, like slots or lottery.  Someone help me out here.
