They are the new breed of slot machine-colorful, fancy, exciting, wonderful...and deadly.

The slot machines sit there like young courtesans, promising pleasures undreamed of, your deepest desires fulfilled, all lusts satiated.

It matters not how you play the game, So long as you never lose.

Life is a gift... Life is a test... Life is temporary assignment.

You are my lover, you're my best friend. You're in my soul.

Some people can be reasoned into sense, and others must be shocked into it.

Human nature is not of itself vicious.
