Southeastern OK is booming, thanks in large part to the Indian tribes' casinos, travel centers, and other businesses including manufacturing chocolate, of all things. I haven't heard anyone here making any economic arguments against them, and very few against them for any reason. Non tribal businesses are benifitting. They are providing social services for tribal members far beyond what the state has provided, including a really nice home for foster children. No doubt, the system is being abused as systems always are, but not all of the effects in all cases are negative.

That is good news. My beef is with our government and the fear that they will start pandering to more GROUPS as opposed to the fact that we are all one people, under one government and equal under the law -- which we know is really not the case, but that is what our founding documents say is the intent of America.
