Stereotype of the Month Entry
(3/2/00)


Another Stereotype of the Month entry:

In the February 22, 2000, edition of San Diego State University's student newspaper (The Daily Aztec), writer Peter Gabbani reveals his ignorance in all its glory as he discusses Prop 1A (Indian Gaming Initiative). The online version of Mr. Gabbani's column can be found at:

The Daily Aztec archives

I will just quote one snippet here to illustrate:

"I once hit a modest jackpot on a slot machine, and it went through my mind that they might pay me in dead beaver pelts or a plot of land."

I'll bet he thinks he's *very* clever. Hah! Fat chance.

So, what's my prize?
