I once had an opportunity to audition, as an actor, for a commercial promoting the Colorado lottery. I turned down the audition. I was motivated partly by a disapproval of gambling but more by a sense of not wanting to be seen as a public promoter of gambling.

A local movie theatre owner, who is also a member, was quoted in the local paper this morning as saying that he doesn’t play the censor. He lets people be their own censors.

hi duncan! welcome.

hmmm, not really sure, i suppose it depends. for example i couldn’t work in a field where i am actively promoting something that could hurt someone else, but then i worked at tim horton’s years and years ago selling coffee of course and at gas stations selling cigarettes.

also i bought a 50/50 ticket at a union christmas party once. right in front of the bishop. the money was for a good cause which was why i did it. actually the bishop had bought one too…. was this wrong??
