What I dont understand is only the Indians can have Casino's.
"Casinos" is plural. "Casino's" is possessive. The reason Indians are the only ones that can have casinos is that usually, in the juisdiction involved, gambling is illegal. The Indians however can carve out what is essentially a separate nation, with their own laws. They don't have to obey ours. So, they can have casnios. There's more to it, but that's the essence.

There's also poetic justice. And the opportunity for some to skim a lot of money. Don |

ink.net... Shreveport Downtown airport is less than a mile from the riverboats in Shreveport, LA. No shuttle service but a cabride for a mile cant be more than 10 bux (well it can, but I digress). I've never done downtown, always went to the big airport and stayed with family out there. Actually, it's about 2 miles from DTN to the middle of the US-79 bridge over the Red River... There are a couple of casinos within a block or two of the bridge, IIRC... The other casinos are located south of the I-20 bridge and as such are around 3.5 to 4 miles away... I've walked from DTN to downtown before (didn't have a cell phone and no pay phone was around the airport)... It was night and some of the areas that you walk through, it probably is in your best interest to pay attention to your surroundings... Shreveport has kind of gone downhill over the last 30 years... Probably like a lot of inner cities, I guess... |

Of course, the Amish won't acknowledge your existence, they all pay with cash, and they don't gamble -- but that doesn't mean the rest of us couldn't bet on 'em? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
