Fred, what do you mean by "horsefeathers"? If you're going to point out those stats you put up above, then you've missed my point. All they prove is that when the government gets involved in business, but with goals other than simply maximizing immediate profit, then by golly, they don't maximize profits! Brilliant! This is also done in 'private enterprise' situations. In my 'business' I don't always go for maximum immediate profit either. As for lotteries being immoral, suit yourself. I won't argue morality. Purely out of personal interest, what is the basis for your version of morality. I have no intention of arguing it's validity. It's your business. -- James Omura, Barrister & Solicitor, Toronto ihnp4!utzoo!lsuc!jimomura
