I don t get what the problem is about the vending machines. In Oregon and Washington there are $.25 gumball machines for the kiddies to get a chance at winning a buck in a small plastic ball. Most the time they get a gumball. The best part is that the proceeds are advertised as going to some county s meth program but the contact info is a bad number. Talk about do-gooders! The states look the other way and allow it to happen.

I like the broad in the article who complains about nobody stopping her from smoking as a teen. I guess she had nothing to do with it. She was a victim. Unbelievable.

Reminds me of an article I read recently. Some 19 year old volunteer fireman is suing the fire dept., the chief, the town and I don't know who else for 35 million dollars because they... [ More ]

The Arkansas Lottery Commission approved rules Thursday for use of 100 vending machines in retail outlets, though opponents vowed to continue to try to have the machines declared illegal.

Lottery players could find the machines in stores as soon as next month.

The commission conducted a public hearing before the vote and listened as 21 of 23 people spoke in opposition to the machines. The panel amended its rules to require government-issued identification in order to buy tickets from the m... [ More ]
