I understand...but I guess my point is that as fans of the sport, sometime we may be called upon to be stewards of the sport. Steve's piece in the DRF was exactly what needs to be out in the mainstream - unfortunately with the circulation of the DRF, especially in the on-line era where most folks don't take the time to even read the front page - the real message gets lost...not trying to sound naive, and certainly not trying to put the onus on others (ok, that's disingenuious...apparently I am) , but a mainstream rebuttal, back up with facts, might help to stem the tide and perhaps even moblilize folks that don't give a rat's asz about racing to take a second look at how badly that their state government has disserviced them.
