Where are all the anti-casino and anti-gambling people? Why aren't they commenting on this story? I've never been to a casino; but like I said in another story on this subject, it's a free country. I haven't spent a penny on the lottery either; but if people want to throw their dough away, let 'em. Like Dad says, playing the lottery - you might as well shove your money up a wild boar's a** and holler SOOIEEEEE! But hey, kids going to college is good for this state; is anyone going to argue that? The more the merrier as they say! Higher education isn't going to hurt this state one bit.
