Is this issue really THAT big a deal to react with such disdain towards a casino chain that was once heaven to advantage play seekers....and which may now just simply be in a reload mode of some sort? It's not like they're picking your pocket without your approval if you choose to go near them.

And the rioting mobs/smokescreen? The only plan casinos get involved in is how to grab gamblers' money over the long haul and as a group. I hardly see them trying to outsmart the positive-play 'mob' - which is actually a very tiny portion of all vp players anyway. I don't see where writing letters, boisterously boycotting certain properties, e-mail assaults, or a phone call barrage will have any of the effect most are looking to have. Just like this war we're in, it's the silent majority who's support will be personally rewarded down the line. Patience; and let's see how all this plays out.

Rob, the silent majority in the current war are those that are against our
involvement. 70% of the U.S. population supports this engagement. I only
bring this up to point out that your conclusions are based on flawed logic
and false information. Buy it does help us understand how your come to your
gaming conclusions.

As far as the Coasts, who cares what they used to do. They were making a
ton of money before and simply got greedy. How else could they have
continued to grow and expand. Wait and see? You got to be kidding. If
Wal-Mart doubles their prices and Target offers better deals, are you going
to keep shopping at Wal-Mart, while waiting patiently for who knows what?

Nobody is calling for riots at Coasts. Simply let them know you are done
and play somewhere else.

That would leave at most 30% to be against our involvement. 30% of
the population may or may not be silent, but they can't be a majority.

So when you posted above, "the silent majority in the current war are
those that are against our involvement," your point was the exact
opposite, that the silent majority are those that are in favor of our
involvement?!
