It's about time.
I once disliked legal gambling because a lot of gambling is done by people who cannot afford to risk money.

I have come around to supporting it because it creates a hidden tax on people who pay little or no income taxes.

In all the years IN casinos have been open I think we have visited 3 times and not in 10 or more years. Jeff Ruby used to have a steakhouse in Belterra that you could get into easily when downtown and Carlos was booked.

We live only 5 miles from Miami Valley Casino and finally went about 2 years ago. I doubt we go back. Seemed to be a lot of lower-class based on dress, speech, manners, etc. The restaurant was surprisingly good but overpriced. Perhaps I will pop in to place a bet on the Cats and leave quickly.

It is good that all people pay some income tax even in the form of casino gambling.
Regardless or if it's legal or not, people are going to drink, smoke, gamble, own guns, do drugs, or whatever else. Might as well make money off of it. At least, that's how I always looked at it.
Did you just throw ownership of a legal inanimate object in with things like doing drugs and gambling?

I mean most of things could be considered a legal inanimate object. If I wasn't clear, I'm for basically all of the things being legal. Making them illegal just makes normal tax payers into criminals. Its seems we've learned very little from the prohibition experiment.

I don't do/own any of those things. I'm not against it. I just don't, for various reasons. But... I could do or get my hands on anything I wanted to, on any given Saturday in a Softball parking lot. It would probably take less than 10 min. Making it illegal doesn't really stop anything. People will do what they want.
