Around Western NY there is a discussion about gambling well not gambling but Casino gambling. Now gambling is all over NY I can drive 1 mile away and gamble my life savings away down at the local convenience store so for the complaints that the Casino is going to suck up people's life savings is insane. Now I would like to state I have never been to a Casino not because they are too far away I could get to one within an hour drive but because I don't see the fun in it but I also don't see the fun in running either but I would not advocate passing a law banning running.
Some people may become addicted to gambling and I think they should have to take responsibility for their addiction and not take any money from me. It is sad that people become addicted to gambling but people become addicted to many things like smoking, alcohol, caffeine, sex, drugs, money, even working out, and eating healthy. Should all these things become illegal because some people can become addicted to them. I don't think so and if they were guess what more people would be imprisoned and killed at the hands of police just for trying to pursue their own happiness which is enshrined in the Declaration of Independence which could be considered the cornerstone of the society of the United States.
OK guess what people are going to do things you don't approve of. Get over it, you don't own them, if you cant stand to see that stay in your home close the curtains and sit in the dark. I am being callous but this is one of the three ideas that our forefathers fought for.
Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness
