Just Vote No

Gamblers were considered a rare breed years ago. Nobody could play outside of Las Vegas and Reno. Then something happened that did not look too pretty. In 1978, casinos were open for business in Atlantic City. Soon after, gaming houses appeared in other states. People trying their luck met their inevitable fates. There are now so many places to lose your money. It does not do a single good thing for the economy. If legal gambling appears on a referendum, just vote “no”. Problems have been created and not solved by each casino.

I agree Robert. Lives are ruined by people who get the gambling fever and lose everything. My sister was married to a gambler and it was not an easy life for her or their children. Gambling is not allowed in the state of Hawaii. Great poem!
