Plymouth is also a good choice, but maybe live in one of the surrounding towns. Real Estate is expensive.

On top of the issue of affordability, can we have some buildings that are not cookie-cutter look alikes? These boring blocks make the area look like everywhere and nowhere at the same time.

O.k., scamming was the wrong word,people make choices that work for them. And they certainly have that right. But these sites prey upon people who are addictive personalities, not most, as I will concede. But when the gov’t is making money off a certain percentage of the population that is vulnerable to these entreaties, then they are guilty and responsible for the ruined lives it causes. Better to leave it to the professionals, the Mob. I am not arguing for banning gambling. That would be pointless. It happens, as does drinking and all kinds of other activities that people take part in. I just want the gov’ts role to be minimal and not encouraging.

Oh, he killed himself alright, by upsetting the wrong people. You are right that the loophole probably won’t be closed So we have to screw our fellow citizens with pie-in-the -sky delusions? Again, I am not against people doing whatever they want with their money, I just don’t want the gov’t involved.

No, I am saying you can do whatever you want, but when the gov’t is actively going after it’s citizens by scamming them with these foolish dreams of big winnings, we might consider if this is for the common good. Again, people can chose to spend their money however they please. I just don’t want the state to be the corner bookie.

Why do you think I’m angry? By “you” I mean other people, not you personally. I don’t claim to have higher morals, merely that I would rather not help people hurt themselves. Obviously many people can gamble, drink, smoke without it ruining their lives, but some can’t and these sports betting sites prey on peoples vulnerability. As to the state losing out on revenue, why not close loopholes on corporations instead of further taxing it’s citizens? BTW, I drink, have smoked pot and occasionally buy football squares.

So we should just take advantage of peoples bad habits so we can make a buck? Nice. You can do whatever you want, but I don’t want to help you fuck yourself.

This is just a scam to separate gullible dreamers from their money. I am conflicted between my libertarian instincts and my gut feeling that we, as the state, should not be making money off people’s weaknesses. I know, we already do with alcohol and tobacco taxes, but at some point it’s just too much.

Dukakis had a big lead over Senior Bush that summer, but then, the tank and then the question about Kitty and rape. He was just too cold ( or analytical) for most people. Would have been a good president though.

Don’t bother imagining that. He’s too sane and intelligent for those clowns.
