Greg Mankiw lets out his moralist

Ten percent of Greg disapproves of gambling.  More than anything I am baffled by gambling; to me it would be as fun as paying to count pennies.  I genuinely cannot understand the adrenalin rush but I don’t enjoy driving really fast either.  If I let out my moralist (who is more than ten percent, I might add), I would disapprove of people who are usually late, people who smoke cigars in restaurants, people who play loud music late at night, and people who are not curious.  Call me a prude if you want, but might these people be, in some fundamental sense, partly evil?  Seriously.
