[Vision2020] New Subject (was graffitti) (gambling)

Ellen,

The point is - that you have a confessed illegal gambling (poker game) 
and an alleged illegal drug lab next door to each other. Where is the 
six degrees of seperation here. There is only one degree! In, as you 
stated, a small community, morality has to start at the house next to 
the drug lab in order to effect the whole community.

I'm sorry you have a drug problem in your neighborhood. I would be 
equally concerned about the top of the slippery slope - proper zoning 
of a gambling establishment.

lemeno, Doug

Yeah, and he could have said "this isn't Hell's Kitchen". . . . so 
what's your point?  What am I missing?

I live over by the Junior High and this is all news to me. . . and it's 
not good news.  And let's face it, a neighborhood "over by the Junior 
High" is only a minute or two from any other neighborhood. . . . 
including North Polk.  Moscow just isn't that big!
