This is the day and age of don't give a shit. When you have no future, you have nothing to lose. Whose fault is that?

I don't buy that. You're future is what you make it. You're building your future every minute of every day. Neither Obama nor Bush nor the GOP or the Democrats nor Congress nor Judges nor GM nor China can change that (well, I suppose China can nuke us, but that's not what I mean). This gentleman, if he is guilty, built his future and now he gets to live it. It's just not a future you nor I would choose for ourselves. Your future is what you make it.

this clown (if guilty) must have been living pretty high on the hog if he stole $100,000 in a little over a year, no he can spend some quality time in a jail cell (if, of course he is guilty!), he'll have some time to think about whether it was worth it all.

He must have had a great time the last year at Batavia Downs Casino!! Of course he would have paid back the debt if he had hit a jackpot!

WOAH HOWARD! Kudos for this response, you are the man. The above line "Your future is what you make it" rings true.
