Even if it does, which one causes the other? Did 500 Liquors open stores in bad areas, or did areas go bad after 500 Liquors opened its stores. <br /><br />Also, there is an obvious social benefit to having liquor stores within walking distance of people who would otherwise drink and drive.<br /><br />I'm thinking of a poor white trash guy I know who realized drinking and driving don't mix. Upon making this realization, he stopped driving. I personally wouldn't make the same decision, but applaud him for actually making the decision and sticking to it.The Rich Wasphttp://www.richwasp.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-69130238069532418822010-03-04T11:14:27.097-05:002010-03-04T11:14:27.097-05:00Here in WA we still have to get our hard liquor fr...Here in WA we still have to get our hard liquor from a state store. Reason is finally catching up and <br />it looks like, in a year or two, this state monopoly will probably go away. Running the stores does, in fact, deprive the state of income; if they were a private enterprise, the state would collect the revenue from the taxes, and have no concomitant outlays.Dranghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08082177597135236652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-38156618457978880452010-03-04T09:29:45.806-05:002010-03-04T09:29:45.806-05:00Gee, and to think I used to think well of Andrea N...Gee, and to think I used to think well of Andrea Neal.<br /><br />Not anymore.Fuzzy Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03802539927743643041noreply@blogger.com
