A wise choice. Another good rule is to guard your drinks if at a club or party and know where they came from. You never know if someone has slipped in a DFSA drug.

That is a worry. I've heard of so many girls falling victim to that. I do keep an eye on my drink whenever I am out and about. It pays to be safe and sure.

Speaking of people shambling around aimlessly and being prone to fits of violence, let's discuss our plan for the upcoming zombie apocalypse, shall we?
Should we eliminate them on sight?
Or rather, research a cure?
Heck, do we embrace their ideal?

Lotto Fever [unaddressed]

Your ever-enterprising brother was recently arrested for running a surprisingly large numbers racket; the earnings allowed him to purchase several foreign luxury cars. Your advisers, surprised by gambling's potential profitability, have begun debating the possibility of a National Lottery to raise government funds. The idea has drawn fire from social groups, who have come to warn you of the evils of gambling.
The Debate

"A National Lottery would be a great idea," says your money-obsessed Minister of Finance, Faith Patel, "This is just what the economy needs. Everybody is attracted to the idea of becoming a millionaire overnight. And best of all, this is as close as you can get to taxing the poor without actually calling it that! That surplus could even subsidize our struggling strategic basket weaving sector. A government-owned lottery would permit small games of chance while keeping out the sleazy, parasitic casinos."

"Banning gambling is essential to the moral fibre of the nation," counters social worker Lauren Mistletoe, wearing a t-shirt with the slogan 'Don't be a Fool; Gambling's not Cool'. "Gambling addiction causes countless broken homes abroad, and having a national lottery would only introduce the problem into A Cluster Of Cute Hispanic Girls. For the sake of A Cluster Of Cute Hispanic Girlsian families, we MUST stand firm against the sin of gambling!"

A man sporting a ten-gallon cowboy hat rolls in an impressive scale model of a casino city, complete with a flashing neon light display. "Well howdy folks! I couldn't help but overhear that your gambling industry is in the toilet. Why not hand over the new lottery to the private sector? I have a plan to use that lottery money to create massive casino cities. I've built casinos in Maxtopia, Bigtopia, and North Lilliputia and by gum, it put them on the map! Just think of all the tourists who will flock to A Cluster Of Cute Hispanic Girls: The Gambling Center of The Respected Realms!"

"And why are we letting some guy with a ridiculous hat profit from this new industry?" exclaims your brother, who was not invited to this meeting. "We'd be much better off with a government monopoly of all gambling institutions, so the profits don't all end up in that foreigner's bank account. But instead of wasting that sweet, sweet lolly on a basketcase subsidization plan, imagine the fun WE could have. You know, for a world leader, your digs are kinda shabby. What's say we use that gambling money for your own personal pleasure palace? It would be all for you. And family of course."

I'll be sure to tune in, Cast.

*Observes*

I couldn't get it. I tried but some plug-in on my comp didn't work. :'( I couldn't resolve it, but I hope that it went well for you.

Is everybody ready for the Zombie Apocalypse? I have plenty of ammunition.
