casino gambling is the most destructive idea this state could come. We don't need the crime, the cannibalization of competing businesses, the destruction of pretty little towns, the dependence on slots that are designed to addict and swindle, more 3rd world country jobs. This is Massachusetts. We,re better than this

We are headed for a major depression in this country. our smartest thinkers have got to find creative and innovative ways to fix this mess.Casinos will just sink us lower. You cannot base an economy on machines that take and take and give nothing in return.It is the definition of insanity.
