Looking Ahead 2009: Writer says No to alcohol

This is a "No" vote, but letters in survey at present run 2-1 for wet/moist

About: Priorities should be what we need not what we want

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

Each of us have the right to our opinions. I have mine.

Number one: I am certainly against the sale of alcohol in our city. Those that like to drink, and gamble and etc, can go to the riverboat, or elsewhere. I have seen first hand the destruction that alcohol brings--all of us have! It doesn't matter that its with a meal or at a gambling boat, or even at home. Like the lottery it could bring in money to our town, but do we need and want these types of business in our city?


As for me the answer is "No." If it takes liquor and gambling to get industry into our town, what does they say about us?I live my life as an open book. I don't hide behind my opinion without signing my name. I love the Lord and I try to live for him. I have family, friends and love ones that would no doubt be alive today if they hadn't taken that drink . Responsible adults? Well, often the responsible adult ends up in an accident that changes their lives and perhaps the lives of their love ones for ever. Each of us have a choice to make. Will someone describe the words "responsible drinking." Is it a designated driver taking one home?

I respect the right to choose. I choose "No."

Thank you.
