Also I will guess that a lot of the people who go will be those that can not afford it, and will be going hoping to get rich, and loss the money they really need to support their lives.
We Christians must also look at a way we can place some safety net out there to catch these poor people when they fall, so they don't end up on the streets, I doubt the state or the city cares, as long as they get their most important money they don't care whose lives they destroy.
I don't know about the boycott idea. The scope is huge. Do we boycott the electric company, soft drink company, any union the takes work (thoat would be just about all of them) and so on. What we need to boycott is our state leadership.
These people will not be husr by our boycotts. We need to work on changing hearts not keeping lists of companies. Guess who gets to clean up the mess when it's all said and done.....
