Tonight is the big vote! :w00t:

Here's hoping my county wakes up and realizes it is post-1933.

On a related note, there is a de-segregation vote next year. :smoke:

One step at a time. You may want to hide your Darwin books, though.

Trigg County, Kentucky just repealed prohibition two weeks or so ago, in like a 51/49% decision (IIRC the issue was decided by 36 votes).  OMG RECOUNT

LOL America.
They had this public forum thingy the other night that I missed, but must have been HIGH-LARIOUS.  Of note was the tirade by a preacher that the Bah-bull teaches that alcohol consumption is sinful.  Funny but I don't recall the story about Jesus turning water into wine ending with Jesus then yelling at people for drinking the wine he just made.  :huh:

Proverbs ("wine is a mocker," "[wine] biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder") has some mean things to say about drinking.  Of course, Psalms has the "wine that maketh glad the heart of man . . . ."

Baptists have this insane theory (as articulated to me by my mother-in-law) that the "wine" in the Bible is really grape juice.  Remember that, while Baptists do conduct Communion like other Protestants, they drink grape juice instead of wine.  The explanation she repeated to me made no sense, especially given my brewing experience... I couldn't even tell you the details--my eyes kind of glazed over while she was trying to articulate it and I probably just smiled politely and nodded.

I was more perplexed by the desegregation vote. WTF?

Not all countries had the chance to kill off their undesirable minorities you know.

LOL I heard that. It is fucking stupid. In the Biblical Mediterranean anyone relying on the grape juice would die of diarrhea within weeks. Beer and wine were so popular because they were capable of killing the most harmful and widespread bacteriae.

Stuff like this really makes one go WTF.

Edit: And shame on you, considering your historical interest in the Roman times. Why on earth you didn't tell the bitch she is fucking stupid?
