It’s really elemental “me son”!
More people believe in magic than believe in the cold hard facts of the contracts critics.
I just read an interesting blog. Evidently, there has been some academic interest surrounding the whole lottery craze. So a couple of papers did a survey and discovered that 20% of Americans consider the lottery a rational and practical way to get rich. Moreover a majority believe that the only way they will ever solve their financial problems is to win a lottery.
20%!! That’s a lot of people ladies and gentlmen. The population of the USA is about 300,000,000. So that means 60,000,000 people believe that lottery is a more practical way to get wealthy than working a 9-5 job and another 130,000,000 believe that while they may never win the lottery, it’s the only way to solve their financial problems.
Our legislature is really just ordinary people serving their islands. Why should their thought processes be any different and who am I to want people to change?
