Yes, but if there was legal gambling, there wouldn't be the need to bribe legislators (for gambling).

So, do you think there would have been the need for (these) bribes if gambling was legal?


Do you think if there were legal gambling, it would magically make the unethical conduct of the people involved dissappear? Geesh. Your kin were likely on the jury.

If there were legal gambling, there would be revenue for the state. I didn't specifically say Bingo for the gambling, and in fact referenced a lottery.

As for any member of my family being on the jury, I hate to tell you, but we are smart enough to know how to get out of such a wonderful public service experience.

It won't change people but it will spread the power and money out. So then there won't be as much money in the big crooks' hands. Just like legalizing drugs would hurt gangs and dealers and put money in businesses hands and not thugs running around with guns. Also if gambling was legal then there wouldn't be people trying to buy votes to legalize it.
