Texas should probably outlaw alcohol, too, using the same rationale.

Or heroin and abortion?

I personally think the harm to Texas from legalizing gambling will far outweigh the benefits.

We have so many restrictions on alcohol it's not even funny. New Year's this year one of the tv news stations cracked me up -- it was after 9 on Saturday night(when the liquor stores close) -- and seeing as liquor stores are not open on Sundays, they said, "if you haven't gotten your liquor for NYE, it's too late now!"

Made me laugh :)

I think the weirdest thing to me here in TX (where I've been most of my life just fyi) is that not only the counties, but the cities have a say in what can be sold when and to whom. It's exasperating sometimes. Like in one restaurant you need a "private" club membership, but in the one across the street you don't. Or the new grocery store that only sells beer up to 5% and wine at 20% (in Southlake *boggles*)
