Keep ‘em SafeThursday, December 15th, 2011The more I think about the popular idea of mixing slot machines with horse racing venues the more absurd I think the idea becomes to me.

However, while I as a dedicated student loved the unrelenting attention that I received from my teachers that forced me to [...] A Predatory MoveThursday, December 15th, 2011I have said it before and I will say it again.

A few [...] Rights and ResponsibilitiesThursday, December 15th, 2011I suppose you cannot blame the people that want no part of slot machines that they know so little about the topic.

However, card games and slot machines are very different approaches [...] One Man’s Crazy IdeaWednesday, November 30th, 2011Many years ago one man got a crazy idea to start buying up a whole bunch of cheap Florida swamp land.
