Winner! Winner! Chicken Dinner!

The esteemed State Senator from over in Watauga County was one of 14 in the Senate on Wednesday to vote against allowing live dealers at the tables in Cherokee, apparently on moral grounds.
What caught our eye was what Sen. Soucek had to say about his opposition:
"It's not an industry where things grow," Soucek said. "It’s just an exchange. You’re not creating anything. I don’t like the economics of it, and I don’t like the problems it causes to families."
We wonder if he realizes that he's just described Wall Street - a place where stocks are exchanged but nothing is really created and nothing grows. Nah. Not a chance.
