EX-RICERS RAISE HELL!Valentine and Mickey are out to stop the discrimination against street people addicted to alcohol. Recently, a war waged against the sale of Rice Wine in neighbourhood stores was successful. This lethal brew was cheap, potent and so high in salt that it was killing people by the hundreds. Valentine and Mikey, two ex-rice wine drinkers were pleased to see this killer removed from the open shelves. However, they discovered that the local Government Liquor outlet closest to the DTES was now charging $9.00 or more for liquor that went for only $5.00 per bottle in other neighbourhoods.
It looks like the government was just ass kissing the concerned campaigners by removing the killer wine. There was no concern for the alcoholics themselves who must move to other areas in order to deal with their addiction. The alternative is, of course rubbing alcohol, Lysol and Listerine. Good substitutes for that old killer wine, wouldn't you agree. No new detox beds. No real alcohol treatment programs. Just more money for the government and a false victory for the fools that believe "Just say no" really works. Valentine and Mickey have begun a petition to bring back a liquor outlet or beer and wine store that stocks products at fair prices. In only half a block they collected over 200 names and vow that this is just the beginning. Good luck to you both and we are behind you all the way, guys.
