good job with the hijacking of the thread oregonian..... would have hated to see a good thread stay good, how bout just starting your own thread on the dozens of topics that you crammed into this one???? then if people want to hear absolute bull**** opinions about liberals and welfare tht have no truth to them, they can just go to your thread........

now back to gambling- i think aunty is right about the tribal money funding this legislature, i have heard that alot of their money was behind the anti-smoking ban too to drive smokers into the casinos to do their gambling there instead of card rooms where smoking is now banned
