Ralph Waggener: Wet or Dry? Weighing both sides, writer concludes: Legal sales is the right way to go and for safety of our youth, if for no other reason. Click on headline for complete commentary By Ralph Waggener Personal commentary On the wet or dry question: It is not going to increase or decrease industry prospects; that will only be done by having the right people working with new industry prospects. The wet or dry question has more to do with having better control of who can buy it. We should have the right to chose to buy or not here in Adair County. Will it make life better or worse? Most likely, no change at all. Most all big cities sell booze and most all states allow the sale of booze most states that don't are in the Bible Belt. Did Jesus turn water into wine? Was wine served at the Lords Supper? Does the Bible talk about drunkenness? Yes, it does. Should we stop driving cars because we could have a wreck? Should we ban large trucks because of wrecks? All things in modernization is in the Bible and that's good advice. Having legal sales of booze is the smart thing to do because it puts better control on the it. We have a better educated society now than ever in history, we don't preach fear of everything like in our past. Will booze continue to be abused if we have legal sales? Yes, it will? It was a run to a wet county, by usually several young people in an automobile, to get booze when I was young and it was usually consumed on the way back - and a lot of wrecks happened in these many trips. Having a knowledge of booze and it's affect I can testify to - and no I don't drink booze now and have not for several years. Legal sales is the right way to go and for safety of our youth, if for no other reason. It won't hurt our chances of getting industry and may help in the way people look at Adair County as most states have legal sales of booze! As always OUT OF ORDER, - Ralph Roy Waggener This story was posted on 2014-04-24 12:43:31
