""Legalizing casino gambling is very popular in Texas, and I think most people want it."
Not this Texan..keep it out of here. We dont need these money suckers...this aint La. or Ms. here. They can have the riff raff of gambling....not here in Tx. Kinky is right on the borders but wrong on this one.
I'm with you on gambling -- don't like it, don't want it near me.
But there's a horsetrack not far from where I live, suckers lining up to buy lottery tickets at all the convenience stores, and traffic jams on I-35 north of Denton as DFW gamblers cross the Red River to the Indian casinos near Thackerville.
It's here. I might just as soon keep the money in state, cut down on weekend traffic to Oklahoma and Louisiana, and put those largely unregulated Indian casinos out of business.
Don't like it the way it is, but don't really want it in state either. Still thinking about it.....
