Oh, boy.

When did starving children around the world become the responsibility of gamblers? It's okay to drop a few hundred, but not a few thousand or a few million, in the name of starving children? Besides, how do you know the money is not winding up in the hands of some philanthropist who might wish to spend their money on starving children? You know, winning players or even the sleezy casino owners... which, by the way, are damn near all publicly owned companies.

>>As I said, winning or, more likely, losing hundreds is as great a fleeting thrill as losing thousands...

Not true.

Hey, that Hawaii trip you're saving for? Sounds decadent. You should cancel and send the funds to Save the Children. Okay? :-)
