Detroit Escorts: Joe Hallett commentary: Reasons to oppose casinos are many
November 3, 2009 at 7:49 am | In Detroit escorts | No CommentsEarl L. Grinols, an economics professor at the University of Illinois who has chronicled the detrimental effect of casinos, tells of a Gamblers Anonymous meeting in which a woman related the moment she came to grips with her addiction: “She said that she decided she had a gambling problem when she found herself buying extra-absorbent sweat pants so that she could ignore the calls of nature, up to two times, without having to leave the gambling table.”
Dealing with similar problems with addicts, some employees of casinos in Iowa were required to take slot-machine chairs outside and hose them off because the players refused to get up when nature called.
Are we really going to do this to ourselves on Tuesday? Are we really so desperate for the illusory jobs promised by promoters of Issue 3 that we voluntarily will degrade ourselves, self-inflicting misery by voting for more violent crime, bankruptcy, destruction of families, domestic violence, drug abuse, prostitution and suicides?
