The Tendecy of American to Want to Be Alone

If you've been a reador of this blog over the years You have, no doubt, read my rantings on the death of community. I have decried the decline ot Texas dance hall culture, bemoaned the sprawl of suburbs, begged people to get out of their houses and go to live music events in small venues, encouraged people to leve their cars at home and take public transportation. But tonight I'm going to ask the gablers out there to put away your quarter and play craps, or roulette, or bacarat. You migh ask why? Because....

"...[casino managers know] playing the slots, still pays the bills. Slot machines are sometimes called "beautiful vaults" in the industry because they bring in nearly three-quarters of the roughly $60 billion in gambling revenue that American casinos generate. "

Just think of it, its like being a lonely caged rat pushing a button and hoping for some food to pop out of the chute. It is just too gross to think about. Please, you gamblers, plyy a social game when you visit the casino. Don't just sit in front of a machine. Have the beautiful woman next to you blow on the dice, ask the handsome man accross the table to float you a c-note cause you just got raised, take a sip from your drink as you watch the new players try to figure out the rules. Or have some friends over and play cribbage for a penny a point. Don't just sit there drooling into your cup of nickles!
