LUCK BE A LADY TONIGHT
The anti-gambling people are up in arms because the Legislature is moving forward with a plan to legalize pull tabs in bars, taverns and resteraunts. When it comes to gambling, the Libertarian in me takes a seat at the front of the bus. I don’t have a problem with it as long as it’s regulated and kept in perspective.
A Cherry Master (it’s not in the legislation by the way) at a local bar is no big deal. A pull tab in a bar is no big deal. I have yet to understand this continued puritanical opposition to a voluntary activity. And please spare me the “this will destroy families because people will drop their entore paychecks into a slot machine.” The person who is going to drop ther paycheck into pull tabs is doing it already.
The anti-gambling folks need to get a grip, grab a drink and relax. Gambling is a voluntary activity and as long as it’s regulated, I could really care less.
