We always knock over a liquor store or a pawn shop and pick up some hookers on the way.

Don't forget to blame violent video games for that!

No form of gambling is a con by definition because the gambler himself is playing upon his own greed by playing the game.

While this is of course by definition true, you missed my point that the lotto doesn't reduce anyone's tax burden. All it does is give government additional funds to play with.

Take a trip to Reno, Nevada. Look around. Then get back to me.

Been there....not any different than many cities it's size that any non-delusional person would see....but of course you are not that sort of person..
