I again am for less government in our lives. After 8 years of the Government interfering, raising the deficit, taxing and spending, why cant they just but out. This again looks and stinks of special interests groups again meddling in the rights of the people. Who are our politicians working for?
I mean come on, in the battle of San Jacinto, April 21st 1836 men died to free us from oppression, and terrine so all people could live in Utah without the heavy hand of Government.
Why is government interfering again?
The alcohol policies of UT do nothing but alienate potential tourists and reduce tax income. I can not tell you how many times I have heard of skiiers WANTING to come here only to end up in another state because they don't think they can get a beer after coming off the slopes.
I applaud the new measures trying to get passed through that will bring this state at into at least the last century. More importantly though, they will make this state more appealing to tourists and increase alcohol tax revenue.
I mean you HAVE TO bye a six pack, you can't just buy 1 bottle? And increasing the alcohol in beer will make 90% of us drinkers drink less...why? because we caught a buzz after 1 or 2 drinks. what kinda sence does this make huh I almost forgot the people passing these crazy laws don't drink.
RE: THEeyepatch
First thing I'm gonna do when they pass this law is get drunk and harass some mormons-NO just kidding!
I wonder what John Charity Spring would say about this-I'm sure he'll say we need to revert to old values of blah, blah, blah.
Perhaps as soon as the hypocritical intelligentsia tire of drinking, the same way they got tired of smoke blown in their face, then we can stop blaming Mormons and simply worry about public health.
The irony of no-smoking bars LOL
BTW I am not Mormon
I really do apologize for that last one, I was only joking.
Can you ever forgive me?
It's good to have people like you in this great country looking out for what this country was founded upon.
"The government's sole purpose is to protect us from crime and foreign invasion."
Article 1, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution disagrees with your assertion. Congress is tasked "to lay and collect taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States."
I'm all for relaxing Utah's antiquated liquor laws and think this is a good move, but at least get your facts straight.
