God gosh Sam, you must be living in a vacuum.  There are any number of states
running lotterys.  New Jersey even has legalized gambling in Atlantic City,
and is considering buying one of the casinos to be run by the state.  As
to it being legal for the state and not for others, there are countless
situations where something is legal for the state and not the general
populace.  I, myself, consider gambling under state supervision, just
another way to get revenue.  If someone wants to blow his money
on a horse, and the state takes a cut, it is just that much less I have
to shell out in taxes.  You haven't become conservative, Sam, you have
been turning into a fundamentalist.  Next thing you know, you will
be sending Jerry Falwell a check to stop this terrible sinning.
Be carefull, Sam, don't let it get you down.  The world won't come to
an end.  Come on down to Atlantic City with me Saturday, I'm going to
hit the Roulette Wheel at Resorts.  Your can drive me home after I
blow my poke and hock the car.
