"The state-supported gambling issue in Massacusetts is hypocritical to begin with. How can a government make private gambling illegal (presumedly because it is a nefarious and crime-related activity), yet support it when sanctioned by itself? It doesn't matter if it's lottery tickets, casinos or horse racing.
Then I read about Herb Strather whining to the governor about getting his seed gambling money back. The picture of him on Page A4 says a lot: big smile and double-fisted victory signals thrust exuberantly in response to the Wampanoag tribe's federal recognition in 2006."
