| "You talkin to me." "Yea, I'm talkin to you!" Read all about legalizing prostitution, marijuana and gambling... This blog was also published on 02-18-12 as an opinion article in the Kaua'i Garden Island News under the title," Gambling already rampant in Hawai'i." http://thegardenisland.com/news/opinion/mailbag/letters-for-saturday-february/article_7ce732c2-5a5f-11e1-a50b-001871e3ce6c.html |
They say (whoever they are) the only two states without gambling are Hawaii and Utah, not so fast...
Cockfighting is alive and well on every island in Hawaii, on any given weekend there are hundreds of scheduled cockfights, anyone wanting to get in the gambling need just know somebody to get you in. Overall, law authorities turn their head on this. The crazy thing, even bingo fundraisers are illegal in Hawaii, unless you happen to be on one of Hawaii's US military bases, then you can play organized bingo for money.
Prostitution is readily available in the open, on Oahu with sign's all over with the likes of relaxation parlors, hostess bars and massage parlors, these businesses are usually located near bars and strip clubs.
Anybody who needs to smoke marijuana can obtain it, I have heard many law enforcement officers smoke pot themselves.
It's time the masses quit being hypocrites and vote to legalize gambling, prostitution and marijuana! Our prisons are overcrowded, our courts or stressed costing the taxpayer millions. Many good people are sitting around and rotting in prisons for what many of us do, they just happened to get caught.
I do not partake in any of these activities, however recognize the tax money the state is losing out on and going into the hands of organized and unorganized crime.
It's no wonder that Las Vegas is the number one travel destination for Hawai'i people. Let's open our eyes, we can all continue to be hypocrites or realize we have a farm with three cash crops begging to be taxed .

Better to use that bad boy to "make love, not war."
As for vices in general, better to keep the government out of private, personal choices."
Doug, Doug, Doug, Cockfighting is chicken fighting..! ;D) none the less it is very common on Kaua'i and the authorities turn their heads on it, millions are gambled on this sport every day...

I checked the letters earlier and they hadn't been posted today. I see they were time stamped at 8:30 a.m. local time, which is 10:30 a.m. my time, so I just assumed there were no letters for today, as occasionally hap...pens.
Turns out there were not only letters, but they featured their local literary superstar, on the all-star literary team with Bettejo Dux!
And, hmmmm, I think I've seen this commentary somehwere before."
Yea, they posted way late, I usually read the letters before I go to bed for the following day, since they are usually posted by 11:45 P.M. guess someone forgot to hit the letters button? Yes, Bettejo is good company to be associated with!
