The hazards of gambling

[Stephen Unger]

At a time when we are still in deep economic trouble, with huge
numbers of people unemployed, or under-employed, and with no serious
effort to get corporations and the super-rich to pay more taxes, many
states and municipalities are turning to gambling as a "painless"
revenue source. We are seeing more state lotteries, licensing of
casinos, etc., and the use of the internet to make it easier for
people to gamble. Is this a good thing, or is there a serious down
side? Place your bets as to what my position is on this. My analysis
is accessible at:

I generally agree with Unger's conclusions, but what does this have
to do with election science, or, a secondary and legitimate topic
here, our group process?

Stephen, please don't bring these things here. I've got many topics I
could bring, if I don't restrain myself.
