Interesting anti-slots analysis.

excerpt:
Slots magnify family and societal dysfunctions. If slots come to
Maryland, expect to see spikes in the incidence and virulence of
spousal and child abuse, youth and underage gambling, alcoholism and
drug abuse, and mental illness. Increased criminal behavior -- running
the gamut from prostitution to theft and embezzlement -- goes along
with gambling too. Gamblers also file for bankruptcy and make claims
for unemployment and other social services in stunningly high percentages.
------
All that's missing are references to anarchists and claims that
gambling leads to "Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together...
mass hysteria!"
