| Message | I don't know where you get that people don't work from this or the fact that we are allowing alcohol sales to begin with. Alcohol is already legal, we merely propose the ability for the citizens to choose where they can purchase this. A small market reform. |

| Message | "and consumed anywhere" is the issue that unites Al'Democraty and The Society. Market reforms are disgusting and evil as is, but the true issue for the both of us is being able to "consume anywhere." Open container, drinking on the playground outside an elementary, in the middle of a street slowly getting more drunk and violent, or potentially, behind the wheel of a car. No. "Consume anywhere" and purchased from anywhere is far too much freedom for alcohol. We already allow all recreational drugs to be legally sold in government shops, must we permit such dangerous laws for the most dangerous and violence-creating drug on Terra? |
