Plans for Mashpee Wampanoag casino in Taunton unveiled

[Censor-Ready]

9. How about a cattle rendering plant?

It's not hard to remember a time when economic development meant building something other than a casino, yet there is no shortage of neo-feudalists ready to roll over on this. Take Clyde Barrow at UMass Dartmouth, quoted in the CCTimes: he used to teach Marx and Hegel and hit on comely female students, but now he finds it more profitable to write creampuff policy papers on sports stadiums and gambling. That makes him many things, but not a "casino expert."

We're passing through speculation and into the cannibalism phase of American decline and collapse, but this is far from a done deal. Lakeville canned the casino idea a few years back. Taunton's kinda thickheaded, but I don't think they're that dumb. If it's going to happen, it will be at the former dog track in Raynham. Trouble is, the Carney's will have their cut and that skews the numbers.
