PROBLEM: Motley, I wasn't defending the current system, I was merely explaining how it works. Anyone can apply for a license to start a liquor store and I'm sure the state would happily accept if all criteria were met and there were enough potential to support one. One thing our state does very well is find ways to extort more and more money out of us under the guise of helping schools, public services and whatever else the can conjure.
As much as I hate the state having sole control over liquor sales, the ballot measure proposed will be far worse in terms of selection and pricing.
I don't believe the state will accept losing hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue which means they are either going to over tax liquor, as our friends in Washington have experienced, or they will find a way to spread it out by increasing taxes across the board.

SOLUTION: No

PROBLEM: Ah...Christian conservatives:descendants of those felons who left England, fleeing from the government there that was hanging and imprisoning them for acts of violence against local innocents; acts which they brought to the shores of North America and began perpetrating here. Things like outright murder in the name of their faith. Acts that they wish to perpetuate through their grab at governmental power to somehow legitimize the same.

Religious freedom, my backside: religious totalitarianism is more like it! What they really want is to continue to commit these acts through government, allowing them to walk away saying "see, we have no blood on our hands!"

SOLUTION: Yes

PROBLEM: I love seeing these dumb-butt, wannabe macho thugs get the book thrown at them. -- Paul
