Title: Casino's Get Rich On Innocent People

With Casino's popping up all over the world casino's continue to
get rich off of innocent people. These people are our family and
friends who innocently went to a gambling establishment with the
hopes of having a nice night. Unwillingly the casinos grab hold
of the innocent and refuse to let go until they have taken every
penny they have earned.

I met two seniors Charlie and Camille who were married for
almost forty five years. After they retired they were asked to
go over to the local casino. They were excited and were looking
forward to removing the boredom in their lives. The first time
they went there they enjoyed the entertainment, the atmosphere
and their chance to win big. Camille was sixty six and Charlie
was sixty eight years old. They had already retired a year
earlier.

Camille really enjoyed the Casino. They started going one day
week the first two months then after a short time they were
going four days a week. Charlie had no concerns because Camille
handled the finances. He figured they were doing well. He wasn't
much of gambler. He enjoyed watching other people and relaxing
at the bar. Camille was at the slot machine hoping to win big.
With out Charlie knowing, Camille had withdrawn their pensions
and savings.

The day finally came three years one month two days from the day
they went to the casino for the first time. Camille had to tell
Charlie they were broke. This was a horror story to me. Charlie
had to go back to work at seventy years old in order to survive.
I could not believe that two people, who lead very conservative
lives, worked hard, paid their taxes and raised three children.

This family is a family you would be proud to call American. How
could this happen? Did the gambling establishments know Camille
had a problem? Why didn't their children know? Why would our
government allow this to happen to good respectable people?
Should their government reimburse them for all their losses? And
Do the people who voted yes for gambling now realize the
devastation it has causing to innocent people? These questions
need to be answered in order to help prevent this from happening
our families and friends.

There are so many lives who have be negatively affected gambling
addiction, how can other local communities still vote to allow
new casinos to be open? And why do our politicians continue to
push for Casinos in their area? Once again there now are more
and more questions to be answered and hope local governments
open their eyes to the devastation it is causing through out the
world.
