The Lottery

Man that Marine movie was bad. But not as bad as living in the dirty dirty...what is this monstrosity of heat!? Speaking of the south, if Bear is God, then Saben must be Jesus-and Jesus wants the lottery.

There was some discussion on the radio this morning regarding Saben's thinking that the lottery would be beneficial to one of the most historically poorly funded states for education. I understand where I live-middle of the Bible Belt and how most people here would not agree due to there religious beliefs, however someone called in and made a great point-what about Bingo? what about Churches that have events that are Casino themed (whether they are using real money or not)? I have to agree w/these things and dare to take them one step further-what about raffle tickets-isn't that essientially the same thing? That's just church involvement, not to mention these '777' stores where you go in and pay for scratch offs, or the dog track that is in north Bham.

Jay Barker raised the question about people who are not well off tend to play those things, but was quickly met w/the reasoning that they are most likely not spending their money on the 'right' things anyways, so might as well as spend it on something that funds education.
