As reflected by the Boston Globe:
"It’s easy to be proud, even smug, about Massachusetts. We have some of the best-educated citizens in the country; progressive social policies; healthier lifestyles; an innovative economy; and culture, history, and natural beauty in abundance. The surrender to casinos signals the limits to our exceptionalism. Apparently, when it comes to the lure of easy money, we’re just like all the rest....
You won't find such a thing coming from me. Embarrassment is more like it, and not because of the casinos coming. It's the arrogant attitude exemplified in the paragraph.

More: Mass. moderate?
