		<title>New Research Project</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I suppose, with all of my ranting about people keeping themselves informed, it is my job to look this up, but I am baffled as to how Nevada became so brilliant on the subject of handling vice.  There is a habit of many states and even or federal government of attempting to legislate morality.  This [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lifting Gambling Prohibition With Slot Machines</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What people do not realize is that during the Prohibition era America’s alcohol consumption actually went up.  This is no surprise when you realize that people, especially in this country, are more likely to do something when they are told not to.  It is part of the rebel spirit of this country that has allowed [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Great Unwashed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had a discussion with a woman that runs the theatre I am currently working at.  The best way to sum up the discussion is that it was on the topic of why people are so stupid.  Plan and simple, people do not take the time to inform themselves of what is going on around [...]]]></description>

		<title>Do Unto Oneself</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am not saying that everything people seemed determined to do should be legalized.  Obviously, it seems that no matter how much the world continues to evolve there will always be murder and theft.  These to crimes are committed by people of all demographics.  While one group might shoot a store clerk for a few [...]]]></description>

		<title>In The First Place</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I suppose the Federal Government likes to to do things the hard way.  I hate to act like a know it all but I am pretty sure I know how this whole online casinos thing is going to turn out.  Right now most states are in the process of expanding their gambling offerings and gambling [...]]]></description>

		<title>That Prohibition Way of Thinking</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hearing people talk about slot machines reminds me of the stories you hear from the prohibition era.  There was good cause for people to campaign against the legal sale of alcohol in the United States.  Women did not feel safe in their homes because of their abusive husbands that would waltz in drunk after hours [...]]]></description>

		<title>Know Your History</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I swear people never seem to learn their lesson.  I was talking to my kid brother this past weekend.  He has hit that special age of 14 where he seems to get super lazy and super distracted.  He went from being an A student to getting Ds and Fs.  It maybe partially my fault that [...]]]></description>

		<title>No Surprise to Me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I do not know why it comes as such a surprise to some people that the United States has become more accepting of gambling.  Slot machines have emerged in almost every state and more states are changing their laws in order to include gambling, particularly slot machines, as a part of their state revenue.  There [...]]]></description>

		<title>We&#8217;ve Seen This Before</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Its all just a little bit of history repeating.  I know I have said this before but I think the issue deserves a revisit.  In the early part of the 20th century the United States Government thought it would be wise to outlaw the sale of alcohol.  This was a measure that was unpopular with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Changing Attitudes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Attitudes on gaming have changed dramatically in the United States.  It is still not the most warmly accepted of industries.  Gambling is still very much associated with sin and vice and all the things that people thought alcoholic cowboys of the old west would do in the saloons of days gone by.  If not that [...]]]></description>
