The Direct shipment issue

[luis]

That whole article is opinion and fear mongering. He states 4 very weak examples. Should we start an anti-liquor store campagne, and sight, "Every day in (your city incerted here)minors are (pick one - finding someone to buy for them/using fake IDs/not being carded at all/having legal friends buy for them)to obtain alcohol and use it irresponsibly.

Try this argument on. If direct shipment becomes illegal, it will encourage the opening of more liquor stores because that is the only way that legal adults will be able to buy alcohol. More liquor stores mean more oportunities for minors to obtain alcohol in the manor that they use most frequently. So buy trying to reduce underage drinking, our wise politicians are actually going to facilitate it.

But really the whole argument is mute because minor access to alcohol is not the issue. Its wholesaller monopolies that they are fighting for.

Today may be a good day for another round of letters to congress.
