Summary: Horsefeathers?


     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.
