“I now live in Kentucky. We have a lot of dry counties. One by one, they are all going wet.”

Good. There’s no excuse whatsoever for a “dry” county in a free society.

If you don’t want to drink, don’t. If you think others shouldn’t, feel free to try to persuade them. As individuals.

I so agree.

After all - who needs free elections with popular votes by citizens making their wishes known?

Yeah, I just moved here from Washington state. Every chance I get, I say, “We still have prohibition here? Are you serious? Do you know what it did to this country?”

Interestingly, the dry counties are also the poorest. One of the reasons is that they lose all the alcohol tax revenue to the counties that sell booze.

It’s one reason they are all going moist, followed by wet.
