Backdoor prohibition. You can't outlaw booze but you can outlaw everything related to it thereby making criminals out of ordinary citizens.
I just noticed the crash happened 'just before dawn.' I guess this means the clubs are open until, what 4:00? 6:00? That's got to have something to do with the problem.
As was said, that's a money issue. A greed issue. Bars staying open for the second shift?
"Backdoor prohibition."
I agree 100%.
Exactly. Here we go again...
Soooooo under this set of logics, can we sue the parents of a serial killer?
Can I sue my ex'''''''s parents for the physical and mental damage he did to me in our marriage?
Can I sue the library for having books that show the Timothy McVeigh's of this world how to make something explosive?
This is way over the top, IMO.
They drank too much. They called a cab, which is what all the anti-drunk-driving campaigns have drummed into all of us. Now they are guilty? OF WHAT??????
Need a really good defense attorny on this one, I think. Is there a legal fund being established for the bar owner and the bartender?????
"Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we mean it... There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with." ('Atlas Shrugged' 1957)
