So, you guys think it's a good idea if families gamble away their kids college fund in Vegas? Seriously... he didn't say Vegas sucks, or Vegas is bad - Vegas is a symbol as much as anything, and the comment makes sense and is valid. Maybe he shouldn't have said it, but the indignation shown out there, and in a gambling forum - where many people have done just that - is pretty weak.
But then, with about three or four of you, it wouldn't matter what he said, you'd rip it, so, this is just another day in some rather sad lives, in many respects, IMO, FWIW, JMO, WWJD.
