[QUOTE="dbeverly26, post: 1932894, member: 515868"] Not too long ago I flew into St. Louis for a trip up to Urbana and instead of taking the same interstate I've taken a billion times I decided to cut over on 16 and jog up through Sullivan just to look at something different. Every little town along the way had one gaming room with three or four trucks in front of it at 1:00 on a Tuesday and it was kind of stomach churning, knowing that those machines are designed to aggravate addictive behavior and basically ruin lives. I'm not necessarily anti-gambling on the whole and like a day at the track as much as the next guy, but it's gotta be more difficult than punching a button on your phone or walking down to the corner.
