‘The devil is in the details’ on gambling issue

In answer to Al Cross’ writing of Jan. 4, 2012 — Mr. Cross writes Gov. Beshear is trying to expand gambling. But we know this is nothing new.
He states the devil may be in the details. I can assure you, sir, the devil is in the details. Because he likes to see the innocent suffer. And who are the most innocent? It is our most precious children.
Parents will be taking money that needs to be used for food and clothing but will be spent on gambling.
They say you stand a better chance of being struck by lightning than winning the lottery. I’m 79 years old and lightning has never struck anywhere near me. I’m not a gambling man but I don’t like those odds.
I hope if an effort is ever brought to the people of Kentucky to expand gambling they will think of our children instead of money and vote it down.
