   Ron Paul: Why Obama Is Wrong on Libya   
      
   Never unlawfully un-constitutional CRIMINAL   
   with the enemy Rightards. When Ron Paul's   
   fellow Republican gang rapists rape more   
   American women, would you still not say as   
   an American Rightard media censor, 'that's   
   wrong where we once obeyed laws.' on prime   
   time? by not bringing up the fact that the   
   criminals are not doing what is asked of   
   ourselves being lawful? Gadaffi DID call a   
   cease-fire.. so, what the fuck man?   
      
      
   you know what is right, though you may still   
   be blind, never too late to change your   
   mind, we are all in agreement, in truth we   
   rise, evil is just the deceived disguised...   
      
      
   STAND TOGETHER OR DON'T   
      
   Our Gambling Problem   
      
   Instead of our government deciding what   
   services we need and are willing to pay for,   
   they'll have us think that by actively   
   promoting gambling to those we can take   
   advantage of, somehow serves them right, and   
   us well. This abnormal behavior is not only   
   destructive to many cheated players, their   
   families and friends, but also to our   
   institutions, government, and economy. You   
   may have heard some say, that gambling is a   
   tax on stupidity, and here are only some of   
   the reasons why. This information is for   
   you to judge, think freely, ask the   
   questions, then pray your wrong. The whole   
   VLT system our government uses is so deeply   
   flawed it's beyond belief. They count   
   credits as dollars, reporting to trusting   
   economists and reporters, a payout of 96%.   
   They will tell you they're needed because   
   otherwise the victims of manipulation would   
   travel to the states before the local state   
   casinos to spend their last two bucks, and   
   they should, their odds are a real deal   
   better. There are no checks and balances in   
   place as there is normally to regulate tax   
   revenues. Nobody in the corrupt gaming   
   commission, MLC, AFM in fact Canada has   
   looked at the computer code, and in Montana   
   where they have, they've made them illegal   
   to operate. They're not stupid. Some of   
   the possible new car owners at the MLC,   
   state that the machines run on a random   
   basis. They have deduced this by testing   
   that they are computers and can simulate a   
   random number concluding presumably that   
   every computer program is just an act of   
   chance. I guess the free cars to some in   
   management make this easier. If this is   
   true, how come no one ever wins more than a   
   $1000? If, as they claim, it is random,   
   occasionally one might win $33 billion by   
   starting at 125 credits doubling 30 times.   
   Get a deck of cards and a calculator and   
   try! Your odds are slim, but at least you   
   have a chance. If this type of   
   psychological manipulation is to be allowed,   
   why not physiological as well. Why not put   
   an odorless chemical right on the pay slips   
   that would leach through the players skin,   
   causing them to act against their better   
   judgment? Body and mind? Here's a tip:   
   Bar owners are privy to much statistical   
   information, that we, the general public are   
   not. If they play, your being really   
   stupid. Also the machines are filthy, wash   
   your hands. You see, they're trying to turn   
   us against each other, into one of them,   
   blinding us, making us lash out and cheat   
   our weaker brothers and their families, if   
   it means we can drink their blood (190+   
   suicides last year). But in truth, we are   
   all being bled. BAH HA! It is a pure   
   regressive tax, no attached goods or   
   services! Billionaires own freezers and   
   stacks of paper! These players are REAL   
   consumers, shopping and moving the economy,   
   if they hadn't lost all our money. Filmon   
   was right wing when he called in gambling   
   for the stupid. Was not the reason for   
   forcing the VLT's into our homes to protect   
   us from casinos? Were we not warned that if   
   you remove what would normally be consumer   
   dollars from an economy, there would be less   
   there? If you call the gaming commission   
   they take 4%, Manitoba lottery books say   
   30%, but in truth they take all they take.   
   They pull in 191,000,000- (not mentioning   
   92% casinos and the shut down of Crystal,   
   not enough money in an honest game of cards,   
   and all those losing free $2 ticket tickets)   
   in revenues each year. If you divide   
   revenues by 4813 odd machines, 313 odd days   
   a year, holy Christmas, if they return 96%,   
   that's close to a payout of $3000 every day,   
   every machine! Why don't we take 40%? We   
   could advertise the best odds in North   
   America! It works well in Vegas, where they   
   actually give players a chance with games of   
   chance, and because more than 50% of the   
   players are from out of state. In Oct 97,   
   Nova Scotia gaming Corp. head Ralf Fisk   
   quit claiming his concerns were ignored, and   
   his power was stripped. In Dec 97, 5 of 6   
   B.C. gaming commissioners quit stating they   
   felt they were made redundant and could   
   provide no significant contribution. I   
   guess the major media doesn't think this is   
   worth knowing! If your lucky enough to get   
   a hold of any of the receipts that come out   
   when the machines are opened, or tilted,   
   you'll see that if you count actual   
   game-ply, some bars, are taking 70%+ of the   
   games and giving you all the credit.   
   Churning of credits with many NON- random   
   events, and prize amounts are critical in   
   determining how much is actually removed and   
   returned to our communities. Why don't we   
   promise a payout of 99.9%, we can still take   
   the same amount of the dollar. Couple extra   
   play 5 win 5 backs, walla! Some gaming   
   (don't say lottery! VGT's?) information is   
   classified information, so there are only a   
   small tiny few, who might know all the   
   details, but refuse to tell anyone, some by   
   law or maybe threat. They destroy "gaming   
   operations" records (VLT's and casinos)   
   yearly, but keep employee's names for fifty!   
   (under MLF0028) Their argument, that makes   
   it illegal, for anyone to publicly disclose   
   the actual dollars, on a site by site basis   
   was "site-holders could gain an unfair   
   advantage if they knew what their   
   competitors were taking in" How? Don't they   
   already have one? If you average it out,   
   bars are making close to ten grand a machine   
   per year, Just provide an addict a seat, and   
   you can still pay your waitresses minimum   
   wage. People can be addicted to many things   
   like VLT's or peanuts, and they can be   
   equally motivating, but they have different   
   consequences. It's nearly impossible to   
   consume 500 dollars worth of peanuts in 2   
   seconds, and how many entertaining peanuts   
   are there, that leave you smiling and filled   
   with glee? Mr. dealer will you help these   
   addicts see? If you deposit a hundred   
   thousand and then cash out without playing,   
   it's now short four thousand, and the bars,   
   more flesh for the pound. If these bars   
   were ever caught committing such an act,   
   they'd get a wink and 2 days of profits   
   taken, instead of time in Stony Mountain.
