game of chance
...state would have the proper economies to keep people from spending their money in another state. Then, maybe our children would benefit from the chance we took. One of the biggest complaints about legalizing gambling is the church morals on the issue. Nevertheless, how can churches have anything to say about legalizing gambling, when over the years their morals have diminished? I know for fact that the church attendance has been declining, every week. I remember not so long ago that my grandfather commented on how the church membership was decreasing. Being an usher of his church, he makes weekly accounts of the churches attendance. He was very concerned about the decline in attendance on the previous week. Therefore, if the membership is diminishing in the churches, then, maybe the morals of community must be changing, also. As time changes, everyone, even churches, must change with the time.

Having more job openings might make the working person try to broaden his or her job aptitude, and in return, he or she would be giving back to the society a positive outlook on life. Thus, by providing more jobs to the community, the town should grow along with the people who live in it. After all, who wants to live in a place that everything stays the same? We would have the same people running our committee with no chance of change. I know that my oldest daughter is always telling me that I live in the past, and I need to move to...
