So Let's Gamble
That sweaty-palmed gambler cheating his kids out of their Christmas presents isn't to be found in the police lineup; rather it's the state itself, proposing to expand their predatory market.
Desperate times call for desperate measures and should the state — in the sweaty-palmed panic of a slot-stalker trolling for a lucky spin to offset his financial depravity and stupidity — may expand gambling by approving slot-machines for non-tribal casinos, in effect calling the bluff of the hand held by cities with the powers of initiative. The latter will lay down a full house, taking down the house of cards that currently exists by launching a massive state-wide initiative drive for cities without that right currently, and banning all gambling permanently.
That's not a threat. It's a promise.
We're already on it.
