Comment Re:Alcohol "causing" crime (Score 1) 393

If I could, I'd live in a dry county. It drives away the people who need to have intoxicants to survive.

Yeah... when the US made alcohol illegal in the 1920s all the drinkers just moved to Canada. It certianly didn't suddenly make a large percentage of the population criminals, divert tons of resources and money to enforce it, and of course it didn't make the mob rich.

I think you need to move out of your neighborhood into a nice gated community that doesn't allow those pesky lower class people in.

For the record, I don't drink.

Amen.

If you don't like the way some people live, don't associate with them. It's nobody's job to make sure you're only surrounded by like-minded people. You don't have a fundamental right to not be offended by the words or actions of others.

And what's stopping you from living in a dry county? I'm sure there are communities of people out there who abstain from drinking. If it's that important to you, find a way to make it happen.

Comment Accountability (Score 5, Insightful) 277

Where is the accountability for this kind of thing? Is it a matter of the information not being readily available, or is it just that people don't bother to do the research and find out just who is lining their leaders' pockets?

When a presidential candidate simply speaking about not taking money from lobbyists is considered a "bold move" by many in the media, it becomes terribly difficult to have faith in any of our political leaders, at least for me.
