Auntie Charo's Soapbox

We're all prostitutes...it's just a matter of price! We tried to celebrate the last three Liberation Day festivities wearing haloes on our heads....nope, it's a sin to have gambling. The Lord doesn't like gambling so we can't/won't have it! It's not a family activity, bady people come to gamble and they'll do bad things and can't be trusted around the families so we'll just have to celebrate without having the money-making gambling vendors.
And so, the story goes...........each year, the vendors have gone home in the red....blood red....broke, especially when it rained...soooo, guess what? Some body finally woke up and decided to throw away that rusty halo and found a good excuse/or a good spin and decided that this year........they're(THE committee) is going to allow the sinners-AKA the evil spenders with money to lose)to play to their hearts content at the LD festivities.......making sure, of course, to keep the sinners away from the haloed ones....
I think I overheard the Breakfast Show talk show host say the administration flip-flopped on the issue while speaking with the chair of the committee, Chris Duenas but don't recall that he got an answer to the comment.......
I say.......call a spade a spade..........lets just make money from the sinners. If you've got sinners that like to gamble, then let's set up a place and make it legal......allow rev-n-tax to collect the winnings/business licenses, etc........but let's not be sneaky about it......let's just admit that when we stopped allowing the gambling....we lost money.....Big Time!!
Biba gambling!!! Pay Red, Pay Red!
