Maybe the father, in an act of desperation, will pull out a gun and shoot me in the face while i'm in line to make a wager. Oh oh...maybe the kid will go on to win American Idol someday and thank me for influencing his dad to stop gambling. Or, or maybe I'll just mind my own business because I dislike when people are all up in my business and let that poor family be.

If you're so concerned about paying extra taxes then the least of your worries should be a degenerate gambler with a family.

You dont have any idea how much you will be paying for those kids. When they break into your car (insurance), when the screw up a school (local taxes), when they constantly are in and out of jail (police force, courts). When they hit some poor guy in the face and he goes to the local county hospital (local taxes). When they get drugged out and visit a rehab facility (fed. and local).

You think you live on some island. You think you are totally disconnected. Welcome to the U.S. for the first time.

Belmont DOES have fine sculpted shrubbery. Ever check out the horseshoe around Ruffian's grave. If you get up real close, you'll see the plastic flowers and the chips in her stone. THAT'S depressing.

I haven't been told in a long time. Thanks for telling me what's up. I'll keep an eye out on those scary babies at the track.

Its a strange thing but babies become adults. Some can grow up into big ugly thugs under the proper conditions. And you and I will be old when they do. Im not much for hiding out. Kinda into not having to watch my back constantly.

So yes I am a bit concerned when I see parents that dont give a damn about their kids. Im out of this tangent. Just a long term sort of view.
