Oh fun, now I get to display just how retarded the people in my community are.
Here is a letter to the editor on what can be an economic boom to our community. Several country music artists are considering building a huge project that would be called Country Crossing. Now, I hate country music and loathe the thought of it having even more of an influence down here, but who am I to stop it, right? Any who, the fundies (by fundies I mean crazy *** christian fundamentalists) have a problem with this idea because one part of the multi acre project would have video bingo, you know, the game they play in church (is there a smiley available that shows the face banging its head against a knife?). They say it is gambling and that the devil will walk on earth and Jebus will forsake us if we allow it to happen. Some douche from the Christian coalition even came down and tried to tell us, mind you that he is not from the state even, that we don't want "this kind" of economic growth in our community. Any how, here is the letter.

Contrary to the claim of the Houston County commissioners, it appears there is nothing in the law that forces Houston County to have electronic gambling. No one should be afraid to allow the people to vote on the issue of electronic gambling or any other controversial issue.
To ram these issues down the throats of the people does nothing but create distrust for government and politicians, eliminate the incumbent commissioners at the next election and create unnecessary hate, confusion and discontent in the entire community.
Please do not rush to allow Country Crossing without giving the people of the county their right to vote on the gambling part of this potentially wonderful and beneficial project.

So basically this guy is saying that instead of allowing ****ING LEGAL businesses to succeed or fail based on revenue, that we should be able to, as a community, to vote on what aspects of certain businesses should be allowed. They want Country Crossing to come here, just without the Bingo. Damn I hate living with these people.
