No More Casinos

By John Voegtle

I would simply like to submit my opinion that Casinos are the wrong way to increase revenue. My concern is for those gamblers who gamble recreationally or in hopes of providing for necessities, despite being financially unstable. Also, I do not approve of the "girly" shows which are a part of the entertainment provided at casinos. A third aspect is the drinking; simply that so many people spend so much money on liquor and some are drinking to excess. There must be ways of generating revenue other than promoting all these sorts of behavior which are simply unhealthy for both individuals and society. I believe that Casinos cause more social harm than good. For that reason, I think it unwise to use them as a major source of revenue.
