Sunday Liquor Sales, Bad Move

Once again the children of the city of Memphis are being exploited. They're being used to justify Sunday liquor sales. Most responsible drinkers, if there is such a thing. Just buy their liquor on Saturdays anyway. Next we're going to have the liquor stores open on holidays. It mostly provides an opputunity for those people to go back more often. That probably didn't need to go in the first place. People with drinking problems, and those who can't afford the habit. What happened with the lottery money? I can't help but think the lottery is counterproductive. When I see people walking to the corner store, to buy a lottery ticket. Or begging outside for your change. To have enough to take a chance. It's like putting a band-aid on a bullet wound. It won't stop the bleeding. Let's just make the parents, gambling alcoholics. That'll save the schools.

  1. I saw the chairman of the "Alcohol commission" Reginald French. According to the account he gave the proposal was only to sell beer earlier on Sundays. Before 12 o'clock noon, like it is now.He said nothing at all about opening the liquor stores. Thats a big difference from the first idea. Could it be that the people just didn't seem, like they would fall for that?
