Thus begins Pittsburgh's Casino nightmare

The destruction of the family by parental neglect. Abuse and impoverishment. Auto accidents causing death and dismemberment due to overintoxication. Prostitution and alcoholism. Thus begins the nightmare that has arrived on Pittsburgh's shores. And there is no turning back. Life after life after life will be destroyed along with their families and t heir businesses and their friendships, just like in every other city that has fallen into the trap believing that casinos will enrich their lives. What the sheep of this region do not realize is that they've fallen for the oldest story in the book: that the casino owners are willing to share their wealth. While pockets and bank accounts (ATMs Galore!) empty, the owners will laugh and become richer and richer. Do you think that you're poor now? Go to a casino with all the bright flashing lights and bells and whistles and drinks, you'll be spending next year's money to keep the excitement going and you'll be poorer than the proverbial church mouse.

Ed Rendell pushed for it, bullied Luke Ravenstahl like a school yard punk until he got his way. Rendell's dream come true. Gambling in Pittsburgh. Poor people shoving over their hard-earned money with the hope that it will turn their lives around. That they'll be happy somehow, making the governor and his buddies even richer.

"Fool are they, for foolish things they do."

Too bad about the Manson Murderers

The Manson women are getting older and one is very sick and dying and 1 has become a friend of Hollywood types, and now that they're in their 60's they're getting a lot of sympathy. And some are trying to get these ladies released.

The thing is THEY'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE STILL ALIVE!!!!!!!

If we did what we should have originally they would be dead not sucking up millions and millions of dollars and making US as a society look bad because we're not running to their jail cell and begging them to be released.

They sealed their fate when they tortured and killed Sharon Tate, cut out her baby from her womb and killed the other people on that estate.

Of coure, their fate has never been experienced, just delayed. Like the old saying, "Justice delayed is justice denied!"

They have so far avoided their fates. They've been living off of our goodness and mercy for 4 decades. They shouldn't complain or ask for release. They should just thank God that they're still alive and able to still laugh when they hear the details of their victim's deaths.

Let them stay where they are...AND LET THEM ROT!

Shame About the Welfare

One thing about Welfare that few or no people ever address:

Its that those who receive it never achieve that most wonderful human accomplishment: their destiny. They never realize what it is their good at. Their gifts go unused and unappreciated. To depend upon others keep them and their abilites at arms length, and we're never able to see what they're capable of.

Welfare not only robs society at large through its depletion of funds, but robs the recipient of ever realizing their great potential.

A shame really.
