I'm really just being facetious. I'm not for or against it, I think what's being proposed is impossible. Dumping a bunch of money into Atlantic City is not going to turn it into Amsterdam. The conditions that make Amsterdam a cool city, even if it does have a seedy underbelly at its center, are simply not present in the United States. It's not just 'canals and brothels.'

That said, I think it's pretty silly to pretend that what goes on in Amsterdam is uniquely evil. The same thing is going on in every facet of American culture
