3 measures dealing with liquor restrictions advance

Sen. Margaret Dayton, R-Orem, said she voted against the bill because, "I just don't want to go on record in support of drinking." She said she's "always got a concern when people drink."

Rep Dayton: I understand your position, but your vote is also a vote against an adult making their own decisions. As I have seen and heard often, when will adulthood be legal in Utah?

I love the old tired "when will adulthood be legal" argument.......

Okay JR, how much "adulthood" should be legalized? Marijuana? Heroin? Crack? How about prostitution? Polygamy? After all, these things are also simply about "adult[s] making their own decisions."

Where do YOU draw the line?

My guess is you draw it wherever it fits your beliefs about what is OK, just like Sen. Dayton. Just because you draw the line at a different place than her doesn't make her wrong.

Actually JR, you're completely right. But that doesn't make the "legalize adulthood" argument wrong. We should legalize marijuana, heroin, crack, prostitution, and polygamy. The government has no business telling people what activities they can or cannot engage in, as long as those activities do not lead to the detriment of others. Vote libertarian.

In JR's defense, were do you draw the line? the line is simple. Alcohol is a leagal substanse, and the other substanses mentioned are not! Lets not kid ourselves, this is a moral issue! Therefore, comes all the ridiculous over regulation that frustrates most reasonable adults. And I'm not talking about nessessary public safty regs. It's all the other crap. The crusaders try to regulate every facit of our lives, especally if thier beliefs are different. To Legalize adulthood is a good way to put it!!
