Coming to a Town near you - and maybe free booze, indoor smoking, child neglect and crime too!

Coming soon to a Massachusetts town near you....yeah...I get it, it's just entertainment...right Governor? My question is...at what cost?










"Ense petit placidam sub libertate quietem" - Massachusetts state motto in Latin meaning "By the sword we seek peace, but peace only under liberty".

And now for our Honorable Governor Deval Patrick stating he would veto any casino bill that included slots parlors....ooops!



That was in 2009. Funny how such important stances can change in a mere three years. And now from the irony department...it is being reported that the Governor has been recently named one of 30 national co-chairs of President Obama’s reelection campaign (again). Oh, goody....

CC! Great collection of videos! I've just added them to the USS-Mass web site. How on Earth did you find them all??

As far as the Deval Patrick video goes, I've learned that guy will say anything, and do anything. This isn't the first lie I've caught him in. My prediction is that casino interests will fund his run for Senator Kerry's seat when he vacates it. Time will tell. I'm proud to say I'm one democrat who never voted for him.

BTW, I've actually met the woman in the video who asks Patrick the question! A really great person -like you! - keeping this issue alive and squaring it with reality. Thanks!

Thanks Gladys! In all honesty, I have given up on main stream media to provide actual real "news" at this point. It became glowingly apparent during the Casino Cronicles (please oh please name your book that :P ) that I now go to youtube for news - alternative news as it is apparently called and have learned how to find the "real life" footage and stories of things that interest me...in this case, the actual documented negative sides to casinos. But it's just entertainment....gak!
