Talking about recycling and protecting the environment... but in the end we will all pay a very high price for these and other crimes against nature.

I don't like to see cabs burned or destroyed, but:

I hate gambling.  Williams dumped everything we love to make casino games now... and you know who wins in the end.  :?

Now "game rooms" are crappy places with those "8 liner" gambling games. Smoking & Drinking and Crime are always associated with these places.   No Ms Pac man in the corner to be played, just gambling machines.  (they are here, in Texas too)

So, I guess my feelings on this are good riddance... burn baby burn.

In all honesty, arcades didn't have a very "clean" reputation either when they were still mostly about videogames. They were always in the somewhat shabby corner.

I don't care a thing about those crappy Chinese built fake candy cabs and Chinese gambling cabs, they way to get "rid " off them is plain stupid and unbelievably polluting, the most parts of those machines are plastic and burning that is not a smart idea. Then again the Chinese are not exactly known to care a bit about the environment or nature.
