I think that big gambling is immoral and destroys families. I don’t like lotteries which were sold to the people as a way to avoid school taxes. Has anyone seen their school taxes actually go down?

I’m glad to see Santorum on the same side that I am on. It doesn’t surprise me; it’s part of a welcome pattern.

Think about how immoral it is for government to sponsor a “game” to which people get addicted that often leads to divorce, non-support of children, and bankruptcy.

I do lotteries occasionally, but I am not addicted. However, I also know that I have a better chance of being struck by lightening three times than winning a government lottery.

The only sort of gambling that I did somewhat okay at is when I bought gold at $405.00 and ounce and sold it back at double the amount.

Even then, I did not do as well as I could have, but the gold went to help pay for expensive assessments on my condo so it did come in handy.
