The legislation would limit the number of gambling boats in the state to 13 — and all the slots are spoken for.

The state limits gambling boats to 13. That’s rich.

Of course, I oppose the legislation. It’s arbitrary and capricious whimsy on the part of the government. 13, not 14. Why 13? Because that’s how many boats currently exist or are pending.

As a good libertineertarian, I oppose all limits on gambling as long as it’s not run by the state and favor removing the government’s statewide monopoly (the lottery). As for fools who gamble more than they can afford, well, let the wiser help part the fools from their money. Letting fools suffer consequences from foolishness; it will help cure them of their foolishness.
