The city presented a third-grade analysis, devoid of the consumption and cost figures essential to making sound decisions and comparing to other energy needs. The City Council is putting selfish interest above public good. Men cast lots for Jesus' garments 2,000 years ago. Now local Indian tribes are imposing gambling on an otherwise pristine San Diego County through their gambling casinos. This evil agency of the destruction of personal worth is growing by leaps and bounds.
Most civilized countries have laws to eliminate gambling.
However, we do not seem to be able to stop the Indian tribes from profiteering by imposing this destructive force on our local population. Losses are often realized by those who can least afford it, which not only affects them, but also their family, friends, acquaintances and all those with whom they have dealings. Even greater consequences can accrue to those who gamble. It takes away from time for useful pursuits, and destroys self-respectability, stability, good repute, and peace of mind. In short, it destroys the mental, physical, and moral fundamentals that make us what we should be.
