i like to gamble too

but i resent the fact that the texas state government has a monopoly on
lotteries.

what makes THEM so special?

i'd like to start "curt's lottery"

and i guarantee that the statistical value of a lottery ticket i sell
will exceed 45 cents on the dollar, (tx's lottery ticket value)

in effect the gov. is saying:
	"gambling is immoral (except when we're the house)"

if legality and morality are disconnected, what happens to the
commoner's respect for law?
