One More Thing

I would like to know why Utah is so damned backwards. If anyone has an
answer, I'd love to hear it. My current theory is that as People-Who-
Have-the-Truth, Mormons feel it's necessary to pick on those who
"don't."

I guess if you're not in with the popular crowd, it's cool for the
majority to restrict your rights and make your life inconvient, (which
is funny given their history) whether we're talking gay marriage or
finding a decent bottle of wine in the store.

Found three favorite wines in Colorado today. None are carried by the
DABC.

Baby - Barbera d'Asti
Voga - Italian Pinot Grigio
Green and Red - California Zinfandel

Thanks Utah, for making getting away an even more pleasurable
experience due to your restrictive and discriminatory mentality.

Either they're picking on those who "don't have the truth" or they really just think we're all a bunch of idiots...Utah doesn't sell Smirnoff Ice or Mike's Hard Lemonade in grocery stores b/c people were afraid kids would mistake it for soda when it clearly says "CONTAINS ALCOHOL" multiple times right on the packaging??? Please, my intelligence is insulted.

But--the day this state actually accepts people (of the non-mormon variety) as they are is not coming anytime soon. For people who supposedly promote free agency, they sure do like to restrict everyone else's.

I think maybe they have a point with confusing alcohol with soda. Some kids are just dumb...some kids think screw drivers are just orange juice and drink them every night even though their parent say it's a special drink...okay maybe that was just me...at any rate, if there had been a law in Missouri about not serving alcohol in glittery sparkly glasses, it may have prevented my underage drinking.
