Ed - The State finally posted my new topic on their forum. Here is the link:

krwebx.infi.net@-16011998^7617@.ee6b514

It has had two hits since late yesterday afternoon - both strongly opposed to how The State and the Governor are handling this situation. How's that for a scientific survey!<G>

Ed,

How about this statement from the State editorial today!

Gubernatorial candidate Jim Hodges is calling for a statewide vote on video gambling. But legislators were elected to make laws, and they should not pass the buck to voters.

I really have to wonder what color the sky is in their world. These people certainly don't live in the same country I do.
