Isn't alcohol consumption prohibited within the Mormon faith? Why don't they fight to criminalize alcohol? Oh, wait, we tried that already. But doesn't allowing alcohol consumption for other people infringe on their religious beliefs? I guess the alcohol-consuming population is too large to fight, but the gay population is small enough to beat down. Interesting analogy, no?
One of the many metaphors I was using when screaming at people on a street corner of why they shoudl vote No on 8.
Basically alcohol was banned by the national constituion in the 20's and 30's. It was prohibition.
Eventually that was found to be unconstituional and overturned.
To this day however there are precients where alcohol consumption and sale is illegal.
Ironically the county in Tennessee where Jack Daniels is made is dry.
Just like the counties that eventually ban gay marriage after prop 8 gets smacked down are going to be filled with glory hole frequenting men who voted yes to save face.
ah, hypocricy.
