An article in the Onion sums up nicely the results of the elections this fall. In the state of Massachusetts my current residence, we had one vote that I actually cared about. Should grocery stores, be able to sell wine. And this was the most money spent on any ballot question to date. The grocery stores said yes the liquor stores all said no.

It was a sad result, grocery stores are still not allowed to sell wine. I was a disappointed that people here thought the government can protect us from kids drinking and driving (the main argument to keep wine out of grocery stores), better than, well, I don’t know how about a family or morals, or a sense of what is right. Is the world so bad, that we can’t allow wine in grocery stores. I don’t think so, and I don’t see any rational evidence that proves otherwise.

So I’m moving to place where people have better faith in others, and don’t depend on someone else to watch out for their kids and their families. And besides look at history, any one up here read about the prohibition, yeah that didn’t work too well. Maybe instead of your daughter going to the grocery store with a fake idea, she has to spend a few minutes in the car with a stranger (if you know what I mean) for them to go into the liquor store to get some Pink Zinfandel.

Think about that one.
