Thanks for posting your resume and defending a person you have a bushiness relationship with (Sheldon Adelson). I expected no less.

Your paragraph about Sheldon Adelson taking a stand had me in tears (laughter). If it is a complete failure, why not let it fail on its own? Whats with the charades? It certainly not in direct competition with him right? Oh I forgot, its about the those darn people and that mortgage money lost.

Thanks for your attention and at least it was worthy of you responding with a tirade of your own in a section called "the paddock" on a horse racing discussion forum.


BTW, I never wished for him to die....i suggest you read carefully.

Don't pick on him. He's not in it to make money.

She's very proud. Son of a cab driver from Dorchester, Mass. An entrepreneur from the time he was 8.

I would have a hard time believing the motivation of a bar owner whose stated reason for supporting a ban on drinking at home was to protect alcoholics from harming themselves.

If they chose to exit their business, I might believe they had a change of heart. Absent that, it seems like an awfully thin cover that only someone who REALLY REALLY needed to believe it could believe.

If Sheldon Adelson believes gambling is doing so much harm, how does he sleep at night? Or is gambling at a brick and mortar casino that he owns less harmful?

Why should he stop at Internet Gambling?
You spoke of alcohol and thus you probably just exposed his next project to ban that too (except in his casino of course). I wonder what happened the last time alcohol was prohibited? Interesting thought.


Its funny how this man is a walking hypocrisy and even more amusing is how the ones who hold his spit cup defend him. Comedy Gold!
