But I was correct and he later admitted it in so many words having witnessed it firsthand.
Some of you folks (not just gravy boat) are pretty vocal and down right nasty with your opinions about casinos. Please remember I'm sure there's plenty of readers of this forum who have had friends, relations, even children or parents that have had an issue with alcohol, drugs, etc. I have no idea or real opinion either way whether these establishments "attract" these types of folks, even if I did I'd keep such opinions to myself. You should feel blessed you've never had a loved one or simply a friend with one of these problems.
