Reply To: Why are some Orthodox pro the Gambling Referendum?

Dear Akuperma,

We are not telling anyone what to do. We are voicing our opinion. What under G-d’s green earth is wrong with that? Actually, that IS democracy! Just because it may not be assur against Halacha, does not mean that we should not take a stand against it. Are you aware that many Jews vacation there in the summer? What about the fact that gambling is very addictive, and there are thousands of boys and girls in camps and bungalows in the vicinity all summer long?

It’s such basic logic that anyone who does not see a reason to protest it (even if they have monetary or political reasons) needs to have their heads examined.
