| "Where is the sin? We bet. It has all been passed down that there is a God. We bet our life on it. We calculate the odds, the return that we shall sit with the saints in Paradise. Our anxiety about our bet wakes us before dawn in a cold sweat and God sees us suffer. I cannot believe that such a God, whose fundamental requirement of us that we gamble our mortal souls - it's true that we stake everything on the fact of His existence - I cannot believe that such a God can look unkindly on a chap wagering a few quid on the likelihood of a dumb animal crossing the line first unless it might be considered a blaspheme to apply to a common pleasure that which is divine. Shall we play?"

unsuccessfully for years to turn it into parkland but Premier Gordon
Campbell now with help from Conservative Stephen Harper wants to keep
the area open for business and at least one mining firm is poised to
start digging.View an excerpt of the story and add your voice to the
protest before the 'BILLIES get their crazy, wrong-headed way.
