JR, was very disappointed to see your editorial in favor of Pinnacle. The answer is we need less gambling, not more. That is the end of the story! For you to say that if the referendum were to abolish gambling then you would be all for it is a little disturbing. Well, my friend, you can't have it both ways. You are either for gambling or against it. If you are looking for a compelling argument against approving Pinnacle then all you need to do is think about why you would be for abolishing gambling. It's right there in front of you! When you discuss reasons why we have trouble recruiting other types of business to our city you state 'gee, I thought it might have something to do with our pathetic public education system, inadequate state funding of both LSU and Pennington Biomedical, growing crime and poverty figures'. If you think back in time just a little bit I think you will recall that those are the things that gambling was supposed to cure...and it obviously hasn't. How in the hell can it improve poverty when it takes the most from those who have the least. Hasn't done a damn things to improve our traffic or our streets either. But it has fattened the wallets of out-of-town casino owners. Yes JR, you have the compelling reason...you stated it well...you just refuse to hear it!

Well I'll be damn! SFLA has made me see the light! We should have more poker tables for some of the best poker players in the world. I wonder why they are not in Vegas...they certainly should be able to afford to go. I'll be willing to bet (oops) that Buddy Roemer (I'm sure that's the former governor he is referring to) will never sit down at a poker table at any casino in BR...no matter how nice. How would you like to see the CEO of your bank playing poker in public? And yes, we are part of poker history. And gambling history too...I'll bet (sorry) Edwin wishes he wasn't part of that history! BTW, I'm not anti-gambling...Vegas is a great place to go. It's just ruined too many lives here in BR!
