However, it's always struck me as a bit odd that gambling : is somehow less immoral if you're on a boat or an indian reservation. Ever watch "Back to the Future II?" THAT is why we don't want casinos! Evil men like Biff will take power over the police and begin to control the city! No sir, gambling must be tightly controlled and snuffed out... so should tobacco and alcohol.. the other two worst habits of human society. I also think Microsoft should be destroyed for even suggesting that Win95 is an "operating system". This type of false advertising brings shame upon the non-casino commercial industries of the world! :) Anyway.. : >Legalized prostitution? : sure, clean it up a bit and keep the minors out. Okay.. You have a point. I think this is much more important than getting gambling legalized in Ohio.. : Legalized marijuana?? ] : Again, why not? take funds from the drug cartels, it's the only way to : break them. <shrug> So the drug cartels will have to diversify into something else... probably tobacco.. kids love smoking. I always feel a sense of pride for our tobacco industry when I see a 14 year old strolling down the sidewalk with a cigarette (yea, I can't spell it) hanging out of his mouth... THAT is successful advertising. : personally i find gambling boring and I generally lose money, but if i : (or my community) can benefit, bring 'em on!! I find gambling boring as well.. after the first $20 pops into the machine I begin to sweat heavily... gambling addiction is a disease much like alcoholism.. we certainly don't need more addictive activities coming into Cleveland.. If you really want to throw a hundred bucks at a time away at something, send it to a school or a charity or something... it'll go to a lot more use there than in the hands of rich greedy old fat-cats. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ drsoran@ni.cba.csuohio.edu I love it when a .plan comes together.
