Yes, isn't that human nature though? To deny your own mistakes first and regret later. BTW, Since you actually linked to your business's blog rather than the businesses itself plus the fact that I enjoyed reading several of your non-business related posts (like the best, worst and weirdest car names), I'm leaving your link. Usually I don't. Feel free to comment anytime using that link. Hi Jenna and welcome!

No one forces these people to walk into a store or gas station and purchase lottery tickets.. I'm surprised people are so quick to point the blame at everyone and anyone but themselves. It's sad..

But Foxwoods is unique in that aspect as they are in just about every other aspect as well (the entire resort is 90% non-gambling. Only 10% is gambling related by design). But the bottom line is still that it was their choice to do this...they didn't have to since they are not responsible for customer foolishness. Hopefully someday taking responsibility for one's action will become second nature. @Elaine:

We hear the same in MI because of the casinos. It's sad that gambling has ruined a persons career, marriage and bankrupted them but we can't make the world safe and free from all addictions. Problem is people do not want to take responsibility for their actions and decisions and look to place the blame elsewhere. Good post Kirk. I fully agree with you on this one.
