Sam,
Thank you for the JaC link.
I'm not at all impressed with Harrah's giving. Did you notice that some (read: most) of their "charitable" giving is as required by their agreements with local and state players (read: how they got permission to operate their casino's in the first place?)
Sorry, I just mostly have it in for casinos. The entire industry is built on lies, and *very* associated with fake sex as well. And a *lot* of people are getting hurt. Badly. It strikes me as the industry with perhaps the *highest* dichotomy between appearance and reality of *any* industry in the U.S. And harrah's is, I'm pretty sure, the single biggest player in the industry.
I'm not impressed. At all.

Benjamin-
Thanks for stopping by, and thanks for the insight. I think you're right on with many of your comments.
