I would like to make it clear that I'm no anti-gaming advocate. On the
contrary, I've averaged almost one trip a week to MS since moving back
to Connecticut in late October. However, I thought the article linked
below was a fascinating read for anyone who frequents casinos.

Definitely a good read and I'm sure Mr. T had good intentions by co-
operating with the detail.I seriously doubt it will do little to
attract problem gamblers to GA or to quit. His example will more than
likely only elicit the rationale, I'm not that bad..... yet.I've
gambled all my life and only survived by protecting my habit with the
philosophy of.... theres always tomorrow. I prefer the company of
gamblers and read message boards to that end. I have seen many friends
crash and burn losing money, homes and family. This may seem corny but
its true. A friend I hadn't seen in many yrs knocked on my door and
handed me a $1000. It was a gambling loan I had long since written
off. Im sure the look on my face brought this responce. " Sorry for
the delay but I'm just making amends". I love my habit but I have been
graced with the abilility to say enough.
Luck to all, B
