No Brainer

October 29, 2007 @ 10:07

I love this story about the lottery retailers and their opposition to proposed new rules by the Ontario Lottery Corporation.

Back in August the OLG set September 17th as the cut off date for retailers to buy lottery tickets at their own stores. The OLG wanted to address the problem of retailers winning a disproportionate amount of money compared to the average customer.

The retailers screamed bloody murder so the OLG backed off the September 17th date but claim the idea is still on the table, and so it should be.

But the retailers claim they're being painted as the bad guys in this situation and they're concerned about their reputations.

What a pile of bullshit.

If anything, the retailer's reaction only raises suspicion. Why are they so concerned about buying tickets at their own kiosks? Why is it so important to maintain that right given the blow to public confidence that took place over the past year?

If anything you'd think the retailers would "want" this rule in place to absolve them of any suspicion. By not allowing retailers to buy at that own stores the issue would go away immediately. It makes nothing but sense.

Such strong opposition from the retailers only serves to make me smell a rat.

The U.S. Department of State circulated an alert Sunday for Our travellers in The european countries to be aware of your heightened prospective for an al-Qaeda terrorist attack. The alarm wouldn't stipulate any specific destinations but did advise Us citizens in foreign countries of terrorists’ prospective “to attack public transportation systems besides other tourist infrastructure.” But no armed forces or governing administration infrastructures?

You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!

Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it's a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from.
