Are these comments reflective of our present culture?
Well, since Purgatory and others believe the poor should fall where they stand, do we move next to the elderly-and then the sick and disabled?
When we are done telling them they should not have been born-it's not our responsibility to care for THEIR problems, do we move into religious groups we do not agree with -and the color of people's skin?
This sounds a lot like a history course I took about World War II.

The rotating funeral homes under contract provide this service for money. The Garden of Innocence will take their business away.
Meanwhile, babies are buried in mass graves-no identity, just a pile of infant bodies cremated and put in the ground-something like a third world country would do.

Great articles.
Keep up the good work.
Brave souls to take on the negative aspects of the Las Vegas Cash Cows.

I moved from Las Vegas because I could not control my gambling addiction. The suicide rate of gamblers in Las Vegas is 4 times higher than nongambling cities.
I moved away from Nevada to a non gaming state. I still attend GA meetings but haven't gambled for a year.
I never knew I had it in me to gamble out of control. I did not start until my 40's. I was lucky -I did not break any laws-but here I was a 40 year old woman pawning my jewelry, juggling bills, chasing the win.
Believe it or not the last year I was in Nevada I won 50,000 in slot machine play. I gave it all back.
I am a casino's favorite type of gambler.
I am so thankful I had the opportunity to move away from Las Vegas.
I wish the very best to those who struggle with compulsive gambling.
It isn't like a drug you can stay away from by avoiding certain neighborhoods, it is on every street corner, in every 7-11, grocery store, even K-Mart, for god's sake-
It is in your face everywhere.
Each morning I wake up thankful I am still alive.
It could have been me.
All businesses need to pay attention and provide education and referral.
Casino's take your money. Period. It is the nature of their business. Don't expect them to babysit an addiction which makes them money.
Las Vegas, as a community could do a lot more to care for its citizens.

What a world we live in. Everyone believes they are judge and jury without being privy to the facts. He had a plea deal. We will never know the entire story. What a nightmare for this kid. To be abused and terrified by his father for years. To know his father had killed his siblings. I guess that was okay because he didn't get caught.
Where were the teachers, neighbors, law enforcement while this kid was growing up? This isn't "just his fault". It the the failure of a society that "doesn't get involved". Hides behind gated communities and ignores opportunities to know neighbors. Try and have a little compassion. If this kid has a chance at changing his life, even a speck, after what he has been through, let's support it.
Great America
