The opposite problem in Missouri

This would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

First, we have a story coming out of Massachusetts, where the state wants more casinos, and the local communities are fighting back.

Now, we have this story coming out of Missouri. Here's the quick hit: They already have lots of casinos in the Kansas City area. The city ain't getting any bigger. One of the local communities wants its own casino. Other people say, "Why?" That about sums it up.

You might ask why I find this so amusing.

Well, I find it funny that the people from a traditional blue state, Massachusetts, are fighting so hard against allowing people the basic right to spend their money the way they want, while in Missouri - the home of the most anti-online gambling office of the DOJ - the people are arguing for more gambling options.

The only way to solve this issue, and many more, is to allow the free market to decide. Once you allow some types of gambling in some areas, it gets real hard to justify not allowing other types in other areas.
