Letter: The vote is about legality, not alcohol Note: We were asked not to print a name with these comments, because the author has to live with folks on the other side of the issue. However, we do have contact information on file. Here is something that has been on my mind lately and really it should bother everyone involved. Let's be perfectly clear here, this issue is a vote for the legal sale of alcohol. I did not see any individuals throw stones at the issue of bootleggers before this Economic Movement. Now that it is in the cards for Legal Sales to be in Adair Co. you are up in arms? Where is the logic? Someone please explain. Otherwise I would say that you support the illegal sale of alcohol here. In reality that is what it seems like, because if we are being 100% honest with each other, there was no quarrel this widespread about fighting the bootleggers or drug issues prior to this issue. Hypocrisy is running wild with this debate and it is getting uglier and uglier. Prohibition ended in the 1930's for the majority of Americans. I have lived other places and I never noticed a higher crime rate. What I did see was a better quality of life, where people had better paying jobs and were able to raise their children above the poverty line. I actually saw more of an opposition to drug and alcohol abuse! Here is a solid question I will wait for a response on. Those who vote NO to this issue, what have you done or plan to do to stop the illegal sale of alcohol in this county? Why not teach responsibility instead of judgment? I will Vote YES March, 22nd. This is in no way a blanket statement that paints everyone guilty, so do not attack, just my observation. I did however feel the need to place anonymous on this because I felt that I was causing a rift with family that sides differently. My vocal views on this issue have somehow caused strife so I will just leave it at that, to be respectful. - Author information on file This story was posted on 2016-02-29 16:21:01
