I cannot believe they are going to try and build a casino up at Gettysburg!! That pisses me off. How could they do that to the thousands of men who died trying to defend their cause (Union and Confederate respectively). Do you really think that they would be all for a casino being built near the field of battle where they gave so much? I mean come on here, let's use our heads. This place is one that means so much to so many people and Gettysburg is perhaps the most known battle in the entire Civil War, let alone most of the American War history. I understand why they want to put one there to increase jobs and tourism, but still, this is totally against everything that that battle was faught for. Plus, it would ruin the battlefield with drunk and money ranging lunitics who would do nothing more than be like "This fucking sucks!"

I hate the idea of this and think it is absolutely wrong and against everything that the battle was faught for. If a casino is built at Gettysburg, I don't know if I'll ever be able to visit there again and have the same feeling. Going there now, it's like a religious type experience and you get to be in this place of honor. Going there then would make it feel like I'm in a place of greed and lust. Definitely a shame if this occurs...
