2. Remeber the good old days of the Happy Hour? Please, half off drinks, that's so 80's. Go to a casino and get FREE alcholic beverages while you gamble. Sweet!
3. I know I'll sleep at night better knowing that no matter which direction I go, I can drive by a casino.
Going West – check
Going North – check
Going South – check
What about East you say? check – ever sail out of lynn on a casino boat?
Sweet!
4. There has been one HUGE revenue stream has been left out of the discussion. What about all of the income tax that will be generated from winnings?
Say you are lucky enough to win one day. Guess what, you get to pay income tax on your winnings over 500 hundred dollars. Just think of all the money this will raise. This is what we call in the business win-win. Sweet!
Rep Bosley, I believe you stand corrected!
is like not spending money at a big sale. think of all the money you’re losing by not buying that marked-down thingiemabob!

Well done Jim!
Get it?
So, now there could be state sanctioned opportunities to drink and drive?
There's not much utility to drinking and drive, maybe as much as gambling. But, consider a license to speed?
I'd pay real money to the state to be allowed to speed without fear of prosecution. Reserve lane 3 on the pike for those licensed to speed. Think of the benefits: I use more gas which give the gov more money; plus, the gov gets my revenue from the license sales.
…GAMBLE-PORT!!!!
Why don't you just send 'em a check as prepayment on future speeding tickets?
…their top speed was about, um, say, 40 MPH.

We got behind one once here in Germany. It was an Alptraum–a nightmare.
For [Alptraum http://www.arkanefx.com/unpred/sexpred/night.html] — not quite what first came to mind. (I mean, the Alps are actually kinda pretty — although I suppose my perspective might change if I were a lost climber… but I digress.)
But when was the last time you saw a Trabant in the US? Now, what you really have to watch out for are those pesky Yugos…. Oh, wait; nevermind… I don't think anyone got one running long enough to get out on the highway anyway.
All that extra gas you use, and the taxes you pay for it, could go be spent on gas conservation for people who drive more and faster than they need to!
How about the hundreds of additional drunk drivers on the roads after they've spent hours gambling away their money at the casinos and the additional accidents they will cause? This will bring in additional revenue to hospitals and create new jobs in the health care sector, and should boost the auto body shop industry as well.
corpse futures are up!
The easy availabilty and proximity of human vices diverts attention and time away from the nobler persuits of community life, thinking and politics. The more you divert their attention the easier it is to get away bigger and better scams in governement and corporate life.
