    I say we should legalize gambling in Hawaii. First of all‚ it would drastically increase Hawaii’s revenue and flow of tourism. Hawaii is already mainly dependent on tourism for incoming revenue. Some claim that crime might rise‚ but crime is there regardless of any laws‚ in any city‚ state‚ or country one might reside in. The state could utilize some of the vastly refined revenues to amplify law enforcement. This will help combat any criminal activity. A good defense is a strong offense.

    Without Gambling? After reading about Dr. Tamokashis field work I realized how gambling is an incredibly important aspect of the Gende people of the Yandera village. In our culture gambling is looked down upon. However‚ for the Gende people it helps redistribute the wealth back into the economic system to those who are in need.
