You could have stopped right there.

But I didn't, or else your rambling would have become a simple book of proactive financial propaganda for anything and everything that will make money> Boring

The situation would be different if Arkansas wasn't adjacent to other casino states.

Well Duh!

People like your family member are going to have compulsive problems in some area. Gambling establishments aren't the problem anymore than liquor stores cause alcoholism.

She didn't, but carry on...

As for your comment about putting casinos next to the richest Arkansans...what is that about? What do Stephens or any of the other wealthy Arkansans have to do with casinos?

---

Because the richest, most prosperous people in Arkansas would not have those establishments in their neighborhoods because of the types of people they draw. They are usually placed in areas of lower income, economic development districts to draw the less affluent crowds. Not always, but it is usually the case in the states I have lived.

I wish you anti-casino guys would just say "I don't want casinos 'cause Jeebus sez no."

Well, first of all it is Jesus and second, it is against the grain of morality imho. Always seeking gain from another persons losses and not giving a rip what kind of shape it leaves that persons family in. Yep, sounds humane, loving, and caring towards others in a weird sort of way I suppose..
what... the way used to be seeking the best for our neighbors, our friends, our nation. Now... Not so much.. MONEY MONEY!!! even if the cost is another humans dignity. But you go ahead and say it is JESUS!
