<br />Com�xussioY�er Berke stated the comment that gambling was socially unacceptable would only be
<br />applicable to a small number of people who were opposed to gambling. He indicated he did not
<br />gamble, however, the fact that gambling casinos continue to expand, and take in millions and
<br />millions of dollars, is reticent to the fact that the majority of the people do not find this activity to
<br />be objectionable. He stated he did not believe it was the Corrunission's position to state that they
<br />find gambling advertising objectionable.
