Yeah, beer distributors wage open war and have gun battles every night in my city. And you should see da homeys day got da hard stuff. Dem Absolute vodka dudes been poppin a cap in da Stoly guys' asses.

Oh, wait, people who sell alchohol don't go around killing people? I thought the only people who dealt in booze during prohibition were violent hoodlums. How do we nowhave a (mostly) peaceful and above-board industry?

That may come as a surprise to the surviving family members of Phoenix reporter Don Bolles, murdered by a car bomb when his newspaper reports connecting political and mob activity came a little too close to embarassing Barry Goldwater and Arizona political stringpuller and kingmaker Kemper Marley. Then after Bolles was fatally dealt with, and after his pals were pulled off their own investigations into his unfinished leads as they too began to get too close, it was safe for the Phoenix Mafia/political alliance to trot out a fresh face they had under their control.

In reply to this post, Roscoe called me a neo-Fascist for outing the fact that beer distributorships are a cellpool of racial politics. My suggestion was to deregulate beer distribution. It would proabably help the organized crime situation, too. This and cigarette smuggling - also mob run - illustate how the ill effects of the WoD are creeping into other areas where the government tries to do good by telling people how to manage their vices.
