Ooops... I suppose I shouldn't refer to them as lowly gambling casinos, but rather I should refer to them as the more politically palatable "Native American Economic Advancement Program."
Call it what you will, but it's still a gambling saloon filled with suckers who are down on their luck betting their entire weekly paycheck from WalMart of $154.67 hoping to win big to make their paycheck stretch far enough to add their dependents onto the company health plan without defaulting on their mortgage or rent.
The arguments used to guilt whites into complying with mega Vegas-style casinos awkwardly plopped into residential neighborhoods is that they drudge up all of the past history of how the Europeans stole the land from the Native Americans. Now whites OWE it to the Native Americans to give the whites a little bit of their own medicine: Come into the occupied neighborhood, mow down everything in sight, add large, ugly, unsightly buildings that consume massive amounts of natural resources, and don't give any consideration if the neighbors complain.
Well, I do have sympathy for what the Europeans did to the Native Americans. However, I still feel sorry for the Native Americans because they are still being manipulated and duped by the gambling industry that is predominately run by the mafia. They're trying to build a casino here in Sonoma County in Rohnert Park. I never knew so many Native Americans had Italian surnames.
The arguments posed for building the casino is that we need to repay our debt to the Natives. Somehow, I don't feel that a resource-sucking mega casino is proper pay off. "Oh, the Natives live in poverty and they NEED the money in order to survive."
Bullshit. It's a complete sell-out. If it's really about preserving their culture and lifestyle, the entire proposed casino sight should be sectioned off like a reservation where the Natives are allowed to live like they did 200 years ago in complete peace without interruption from any modern technologies or interference from whities.
Oh, but where would Chief Got-a-Lot-of-Bucks and Chief Pisano get their materialistic riches from???
