Her trump cards are elusive dreams and mystery, and she deals them from a deck of broken promises. Her name is casino gambling, and she s a painted lady, a harlot and a fake. This is the West, but it is not the Wild West, so we must politely ask her to leave while she can with some dignity before her makeup fades, her eye shadow runs and her false heart shows. WE DO NOT want casino gambling in Fort Worth. We do not want casino gambling in Texas.
Casino gambling is the worst of gaming industries.
It is a diamond ring worn on hands with dirty fingernails. It is a stacked deck. If allowed here, it will alter forever and with desultry effect the social, political, cultural and physical landscape of our city. We are a city of old-fashioned values and newfangled dreams. We love the traditions of our stockyard and the culture of our museums, with their treasure troves of art housed in architectural masterpieces, and we take pride in our music and our dance.
