Comment on wet county vs. dry county 20 year resident sees more crime in this dry county than she can remember in the wet county in Illiinois where she lived earlier By Lorena Martens You can use my whole name, I am not ashamed of what I have to say First of all, let me say I love Columbia, Kentucky and I would not want to live anywhere else. I want to add my 2 cents to the controversy about wet and dry. Peope who want to drink are going to and there is nothing you can do about it. I have seen some guys around here driving drunk and if they do get arrested nothing is really done about it. They are half drunk when they make the trip to the liquor stores on the other side of Campbellsville. I would just as soon see them be able to buy it here as to take the chance of having an accident and killing someone on the way to get their booze. We moved here some 20 years ago. My husband and I were brought up in Illinois where the state is all wet. We were raised around several small towns, the largest being about 1200 people. The last town we lived in was Bradford, Illinois, population around 900. There were three taverns, they all did a good business and I have to say we had a lot less murders and crime there than here! The whole county still has less murders and crime than the city of Columbia. The taverns and the booze do not cause all the problems. This idea people have today that they can do anything they want to and get away with it is part of the problem. I believe a lot of it is caused from the Tv programs.They get more violent and demonic as time goes by. Little children cannot tell the difference in truth and fiction so they think a lot of it is alright. After all, if they blow someone up in a movie and he comes back in another one, then it must not hurt to blow people up. I want to add that I don't drink and never have drunk booze, but if other people want to buy booze so be it. It would be safer to buy it here than driving a 40 mile round trip.
