Written on Should President Barack Obama address the nation's schools in an address?:

Our children are exposed to all types of ads and messages. Parents can't censor everything kids see.
When my generation was in school, we were taught to respect the office of the President, both at school and at home.
Parents who opt to keep their children from seeing this will send a damaging message to their children. Children will think there is a reason to fear our political leaders.
This is a very damaging step for the citizens of this country to take.
They will wonder why they must fear the President. Are these parents going to be able to give a valid answer when their children ask, WHY?
We must get back to trusting those who are in charge or we are in danger of wrecking our political system.
Think about it!!!

Written on Another one already? Maybe Willie Nelson is too prolific:

Willie has always been one of my favorites, even when he was clean-shaven and had short hair. It seemed that those in the business wanted to keep Willie a songwriter, which was a way of them making money off of Willie. I was thrilled when the public finally recognized Willie as a performer. If Willie recorded 20 CD's a month it wouldn't be too many.
Just leave that long-hair country boy alone!

Written on Who will advise African-American students?:

I am constantly hearing that we should not label our children with negative words, such as dumb, stupid, lazy, ugly...etc. By constantly telling any child that they are different because of their linage or culture is demeaning to that child.
As long as the African-American leaders keep telling the African-American community they are inferior, they will continue to belive it.
If you give a healthy child a crutch and tell them they need it to get around, it won't be long before they actually will need it.
Yes, Africian-Americans are different, just like everyone else. However, they have the same opportunities as everyone else. They go to the same schools, have the same subjects, the same teachers and the same opportunity to apply for scholarships and grants as anyone else. It is up to parents to investigate whats out there and take the steps needed to help their children to receive it.
If a child gets hurt the parents know to take them to a doctor or emergency room, this doesn't depend on their linage. When a child needs help in school, the parents need to seek that help, just as they would if the child was hurt.
If any group of people feel inferior in America, it is they who make themselves feel that way. No one has the power to make another person feel any way, good or bad.

Written on 6-month-old boy's death ruled accidental:

I knew when I heard the news about a baby dying in a sleeping accident that the vultures who haunt these stories would be here pecking the poor parent(s) appart.
This is a tragic thing for everyone involved whether they be reletives or friends of this family. I see only a few post that are approprate in a report such as this.
Not only do you pick appart the poor mother, but you go at each other like ants at a picnic. Do you people not have anything better to do with your time? How about taking your judgmental butts down to the Salvation Army, food bank, local church or shelter and help those in need, maybe you might learn what compassion is.
By the looks of these posts, you folks sit and wait for someone to make a statement so you can jump on it. This is a total waste of your lives.
If you can't say anything positive, keep quiet!

We know the family and send them our best thoughts and prayers at this time of sorrow.
The child belongs to God and we need to be thankful that God allowed him to visit with us for a while.

Written on What is your opinion of President Barack Obama’s push for health care overhaul?:

The thought of this countries health care being in the hands of the government is a horror.
Medicare, Medicade and the VA are in government hands and it is a nightmare to everyone involved. Just ask your healthcare provider if they accept Medicade. Most will answer, NO!!!
Right now, most doctors have a choice of accepting or not accepting Medicade. Hospitals and specialist don't have that choice, but wish they did, so they could opt out.
Every Congress and new President say they are going to FIX Medicare, Medicade and the VA benifits, but nothing has actually been done to bring about any improvements.
Each of these government run health programs must approve the treatment and care the patients get before anything can be done, and the care is the bare minimum. It's as though the government wants those who are covered to croak ASAP.
Those covered by these programs have very little say as to the treatment they receive. Their treatment is in the hands of politicians.
Look at how congress conducts business, then imagine these people being in charge of your medical treatment. Like every other government run program, your healthcare may go to the LOWEST BIDDER!
Do you want the same people who built the Lloyd Expressway, Hwy. 41, Diamond Ave. to run our hospitals?
You might come home with a stoplight implant!

Written on ATV riders get green light for some Warrick roadways:

I can see lots of accidents involving ATV's in the counties future.
Living in the county, I already see many ATV riders riding on the roads. They seem to jump out of nowhere onto the road, without looking to see if something is coming, already. This will only make it worse.
Drivers will have to be on constant alert when diving along roads with bushes, incase an ATV jumps out in front of them.
ATV's motors are so loud they don't allow the rider to hear other vehicles coming, so the riders must depend entirely on their vision to make sure the way is clear.
There are those who will argue that there are ATV riders who practice safety when riding. Saddly, all ATV riders don't practice safety.
Automobile drivers don't look out for motorcycle riders. So, why would anyone think they are going to look out for ATV riders?
I don't think there was enought thought put into this before it was passed.

Written on Not set in stone:

Any great work of art is unique because craftsmen put their heart and soul into making it unique. It takes artists to make repairs.
The uniqueness of the building is what makes it such a treasured building and is the reason it must be preserved.
However, when the politicians in Evansville set their sights on something, they will do whatever it takes to make it happen.
I can see them tearing down the old Postoffice in order to build their new stadium in its place. All in the name of progress.
If they do this, the citizens of Evansville should refuse to attend any event in the new stadium.
Value is more than a dollar amount. When comparing this historical building to some new stadium, the postoffice building has much more VALUE to this area.
Nothing can equal the historical value this and other historical buildings in Evansville have. This is why these buildings must be preserved... no matter what the cost.

Written on Man accused of firing gun at crowd, officers:

There is no reason why anyone cannot better themselves. To say there is unaffordable education is wrong, there are grants and other types of aid to help those who want an education but cannot afford it.
There are jobs for those who really want to work. They may have to say, "Do you want fries with that?" but it is a job. If that doesn't pay enough, get a second or third job.
There are employers who go out of their way to hire those who have been in jail. Some are former inmates themself, who decided to do something positive and eventually started their own business. Now they are trying to give others a hand-up.
It all begins with having pride in yourself, no matter what anyone else tells you.
Those who commit crimes do so because they are lazy and are tying to score some easy money. This incident, I'm sure, was about trying to impress someone or make somekind of statement.
The impression made had about as much impression as the tattoo on his face. As you can read, no one seems impressed by his tattoo.
Being in prison is a good life for lazy loosers. They get everything they need paid for by those who work and pay taxes. It's time to start prison programs that will reform and educate these people so they have job skills when the get out, or they don't get out. It's time to empty the prisons, either by education or execution.

Written on Beef up your mojo: Burger King offering body spray:

I have been using Hillshire Farms beeflog roll-on deodorant for years.

Written on Debating the issue of Sunday sales:

While their at it, why don't they also take a look at allowing sale of alcohol on election day?
Now that voters can vote weeks before the actual election day, the law doesn't demand that alcohol can't be sold on these days. Why then do they demand that no alcohol be sold while the poles are open on election day?
As Ms Luttrell, said in the article, people will buy it the day before.
Drinking alcohol takes place every day of the week, why not sell it every day of the week?

Written on Woman dies in Warrick County accident:

My thoughts and prayers go out to Bill, Theresa and Billy and other family members and her friends.
My daughter and Brandy are the same age and with both being in 4-H, I watch Brandy and Billy grow up to become bright, decent young people whose parents can be proud of. I can only imagine the pain her family is going through.
May you allow God to bring peace and comfort into your hearts.

Written on Living dangerously - Oldsters knew no better, survived anyway:

Those were the days. My brothers and I never had on a pair of shoes from the last day of school until the first day of school, except to go to Church. Yes, we brused and cut our feet and dragged our toes on the ground as we peddled our bikes. We never went to the emergency room over a scrapped knee... we used any old rag we could find and wiped the blood off, and go back to playing.
I ate my sister's mud pies, and didn't die. Us boys made bows and arrows from tree limbs and weeds, we also made rubber guns from car and bike innertubes. Can't do that any more... cars tires don't have innertubes. Yes, we shot eachother with them, and laughed about who had the biggest whelps.
We rode on tuck talegates and jumped off while the truck was still moving. One of our neighbor boys fell in the creek, the rest of us boys formed a line, holding each other and pulled him out.
We climbed trees, and fell out when a limb broke. We used the same baseball all summer and wrapped it with tape when the seams busted open. By the end of summer, there was more tape than ball, but that didn't keep us from hitting homeruns with it. Our bats split and we just turned the split side away from the ball and the game went on.
Us kids would lay down and sleep in the backseat or in the floor of the family car when we went on a trip. Which ever parent that wasn't driving held the baby and changed diapers (made of cloth) in the seat between them.
We made fishing poles from tree limbs and used nylon twine for line, the hooks we used were covered with rust, and we got our fingers stuck with them... and didn't die or needed emergency treatment.
Our summertime outfit was a pair of shorts, no shoes, no shirt and yes we went to the corner store and bought things dressed like that.
Our car was repaired by the guys at the corner SERVICE station. There might have been a pop machine there, but no milk, bread, cerial or cigarettes.
Men would stand or sit outside the store while their wives shopped, and smoked. They would have never thought of smoking inside a store. It didn't take an act of congress to get them to put their cigarette out, just a simple request would do.
Men and ladies both wore hats and dressed up to go anywhere, and shoes were polished to the point that you could see yourself in them.
Parents didn't scream at their kids in public, the kids knew what would happen if their parents had to speak to them.
Any parent would get on to any of the kids if they misbehaved, then called their parents and the kids got in trouble again when they got home.
Parents don't let their kids outside today because the streets aren't safe, there are too many nut-cases waiting to harm our kids. Things will never be the way they were back then, until these kind of people are taken off the streets.

Written on Lawmakers rev up for transit :

Why should Indiana residence living in areas that doesn't have mass transit pay more taxes so those in the major cities can ride?
Those of us on fixed incomes are never considered when it's time for tax rebates, but we will have to pay more sales tax when we go shopping and more gas tax when we want to go somewhere. All the while, those on Soc. Sec. get an unrealistic cost of living increase, which doesn't come close to the actual cost of living increase.
Why doesn't the government give Soc. Sec. recipients the same increase they give the utility companies?

Written on Accident spurred bus bill:

Yes, there are laws already on the books, but they apparently are not strong enough to keep people from breaking them.
It wouldn't matter if a police officer witnessed the offense, the prosecutor cannot ask for more than what the law allows, which is why Indiana needs a stronger stop arm law.
I don't see where this would rob any citizen of any freedom, unless they think they have the right to run down children.
If the offender has to spend time behind bars and pay a hefty fine, plus repay the family of the person injured, then maybe they might decide that taking a minute or two to stop for a school bus stop arm isn't such an inconvience after all.
This type of law doesn't involve politics, just common sense. The thing I don't understand is why previous legislators didn't put enough teeth in this law to start with.
Maybe they gave people more credit for having common sense than they desirved.

Written on Child's letter asks Santa for an unselfish gift:

I think her mamaw would love to read her letter so she could know just how grand of a granddaughter she has.
I know I would if I was in the same situation.

Written on None:

Cosby has made some points that need to be taken to heart by not only the black community but all communities. Don't excuse yourself out of doing better for yourself and your family, standup and be a responsible person, then you will be on your way to making things better.
Taking drugs, joining gangs, quiting school, stealing and robbing, carrying weapons are each a step toward self destruction. No matter what color skin you have.
If you want a better life, begin by getting your head on straight and do something to make it better.

Written on UE plane crash took lives of Aces players, university officials and air crew:

There is a memorial display at Roberts Stadium with newspaper clippings and photographs of each person who perished that night.
It would be a nice thing for the community if someone or some group would erect some type of memorial plaque near the crash sight so future members of the community would know where one of the most tragic events to hit Evansville and our community occured.
I have been to the airport several times over the years but never thought to look and see if there was any type of memorial there.
I too was disapointed in the lack of coverage the c&p gave this important story. With all the coverage this event was given by the media there surly was plenty of source material available to the writer.
Knowing very little about aircrafts or how they are flown, I found some of what was written here interesting. However, none of it can change the tragic outcome or the emptyness felt by this community at that time and which still lingers today.

Written on Families, survivor await sentence :

Poor little Misty, and her mommy. Yeah Right!!!
All of this is garbage. None of it addresses why Nick murdered these three kids and tried to murder the forth.
Of course Misty wasn't about to tell the court that she put him up to it.
If she was a responsible person, she would have found a way to turn him in after he told her he killed two people. Instead she fled with Nick while her family waved goodbye and wished them good luck.
How much of this did her parents know?
It seems really strange that her parents became concerned about Misty's well-being when they heard on the police scanner that three young people had been found dead and a fourth wounded in a cornfield. They even went to check on Misty.
If Misty thought Nick was such a bad person, why did she stay with him after he shot is brother-in-law?
There are too many unanswered questions in all of this. Will the victim's families ever know the whole truth or will they have to be satisfied with Misty and Debbie's tales?
I have prayed for each victim's family that they will find peace in their heart and souls and some sort of closure from all of this, and will continue praying for them.

Written on Stoplight city no more?:

Back in the '70's, the city of Evansville paid one-million dollars to have all the stop lights progammed in order to save fuel. Within a week after this was done, the city engineer reprogrammed the stop lights back to the way they were before.
I felt that the city should have taken the million dollars out of the city engineer's pocket.
This is not going to change anything, except cost the taxpayer money that could go toward other, more needed projects.

Written on Woman seeks signs on bridge:

The no brainer would be on the county for not having the sign up already.

Written on Disability registry will aid rescuers:

This is a great idea, but needs to be taken much farther.
The information needs to be available on a national database system and used when responding to automobile accidents involving vehicles driven by or carrying disable passengers.
The information would also help when officers stop a vehicle with disable on board so the officers don't become agressive when a deaf driver doesn't resond to a verble command, or a person using a wheelchair or other device refuses to "step out of the vehicle".
These are fears the disable have when stopped by law enforcement officers.
This type of information is already in the hands of BMV agencies, given when applying for disabilty plates. Government agencies have all types of information on those with disablities, but because of information sharing restrictions doesn't share it with other agencies, such as police, fire and ambulance personel. Information is available, use it, share it.
Whatever happened to the safety program introduced years ago where stickers were placed on children's bedroom windows to alert emergency responders where a child's room is located?

Written on Evansville Desegregation:

I went to Harwood in the mid 1950's and had three black boys and one black girl in my class. I never thought of them as being different from me, I never thought anything about using the same bathroom as any of my classmates or drinking after them at the drinking fountain.
My older brother had a morning paper route and I helped him. I delivered papers to the black neighborhood, as it was called, which was located where Diamond Valley Lake is now, North of Diamond Ave. and east of Kratzville Rd. I was asked many times if I was affraid to go there in the dark. I never gave it a minutes thought. The people there were as nice to me as any of the others we delivered papers to.
After injuring myself and not being able to help deliver paper anymore, I received many phone calls from several of the black customers, but not one from any of the white customers, asking how I was doing.
I would stop and get a sandwich from the black resturant located in that area, which I heard many remarks about getting poisioned if I ate there. The food was great and so was the service. I was treated the same as any other customer, even though I was white.
I was raised to treat people the way I wanted them to treat me. As long as a person treated me good, I treated them good.
People can find reasons to hate another person or a group of people if they look hard enough. Whether it be the color or their skin, eyes or hair, which hand they write with... the list can go on and on.
We all need to stop looking for the differences in each other and start looking for the good and positive things about each other. Love our neighbor, doesn't have a disclaimer for color of their skin.
All men are created equal... Those word help found this nation. It is when we fail to recognize this and try to add exceptions to it is when trouble starts.
I don't like hearing the term "African-American" or "Native-American" or "Mexican-American", if a person is born, or has earned citizenship, or met the criteria to be an American, then they are an AMERICAN... it's time to drop the hypenated part.
The only race riots this country should have are those that follow a NASCAR event.

Written on 'Big cat' blamed in death of quarter horse:

This is no hearsay. One morning, in 2002, my wife caught a glimps, as she was driving home, of a tan colored, large size, cat as it jumped from the roadway, across a ditch and into a cornfield. She slowed down to see if she could spot the animal but all she saw was a few broken corn stalks where the animal had been.
A few days later, she again caught a glimps of a large, tan colored, cat entering an area of tall weeds behind our house. When I went to check it out, there was a clear path where a good size animal had been making its way through the underbrush. Much too large for a dog or a cat.
A few days later, we had a horse attacked. The horse had access to the barnlot and the barn. We had two horses at the time a young mustang, we got from the DNR, and an old TN Walking horse. The Mustang took on the attacker and received a neck full of claw marks for it's trouble. Aparently the youth and strength of the horse was more than the attacker had anticipated and took off after the encounter.
We called our vet out to take a look at the horse's neck, to see if he had any idea of what attacked the horse. He told us that the size of the claw marks indicated it was a large cat, not a big house cat, but a cougar or some other cat of that size.
We had heard rumors that some people, who had a permit for exotic animals, had let escape, or released, a cougar because they couldn't afford to feed it. A story I don't doubt was true.
For the DNR to say that cougar's have been extinct in Ill. since the 1800, is bunk.
My dad was born and raised in rural southern Ill., him and his brothers had all spotted cougars and black panthers in the area. They had even lost livestock to these animals from time to time. Usually it was an older or injured animal that couldn't hunt for itself that attacked the livestock. Sighting of cougars and other large cats were common during the 1920's to 1930's in that area.
I don't doubt the person in Yankeetown saw a cougar because we live a few miles north of there.

Written on Two mothers accused of neglect:

We have become a self-centered society. Many young people care only about themselves, they have never been taught to do without anything. As parents we have done without so we could give our children everything they WANT.
This generation was given gym shoes that cost over $100.00, and jeans that cost as much or more, while their parents did without.
Now these kids are having kids and they find that their kids put a crimp in their lifestyle.
Carnahan wanted to go out with her friends and get drunk, so she tucked the child in and off she went, this wasn't her first time doing this.
When caught, she tried to lie her way out... which didn't work.
Why didn't she take the child to her parents or a friend's house? Because she might have gotten a lecture about not accepting her responsibility as a parent, which she didn't want to hear. Leaving the child was much easier for her.
Patterson, although 29, still mentally considers herself a teen and shows a lack of maturity. The baby's dad is 17. If she were a male she would be charged as a sex offender.
Her parents never made it her responsibility to pick up after herself or how to turn off the TV and clean the house.
Parents expect the public school system to raise their children for them. The schools can teach the kids about sex, but not about what's morally correct since that might cross the line of seperation of church and state and bring legal action against the school system.
Our country has legislated itself into a country with citizens who don't know what's morally correct... just look at all the babies born out of wedlock, and all the killings, drug addicts, road rage, etc., that's published in the paper or broadcast on the news everyday.
Before we know it, parents will be jailed for taking their children to church because they are teaching them about how to live a morally correct life.
These stories will keep appearing until the citizens of the United States standup and begin teaching their children right from wrong and living the example before them.

Written on Fatal accident closes eastbound Lloyd at St. Joseph Ave.:

Why is it that the drivers in Evansville need to have the police present to keep them from breaking the law?
My sympathy and prayers go out to Jerad Gard's family and friends.
It is a shame that stories such as this gets turned in to a forum for everything from anti-religious postings to political fare.
The CP should delete these postings ASAP to spare these families from having to read such disgraceful things.

Written on Victims' relatives get to talk:

taddtown, even if it was true that Misty was raped, it would never justify what she encouraged Nick to do.
Nick has had his day of judgement and Misty will face hers. They appointed themselved the sole judge, jury and murderer of these three... two of whom Nick didn't know.
Where is the justice?
If so, Misty should have went to the hospital or clinic and reported the rape and have a doctor verify it, then report it to the police. These would have been the proper steps to take. Then the rapist would have been taken into custody and stood trial.
I personally feel that Misty played Nick for a sucker, knowing that he would do something stupid, to get him out of the picture for whatever reasons she may have had.
Just my opinion.

Written on UPDATE: Harbison gets life in prison without parole:

My prayers have been with all three of the victims families. They must live this nightmare each second of their lives.
Harbison is such a coward for taking the easy way out. He sure didn't give those with him last year any choices or any way out.
There is no justice in this country as long as animals such as Harbison are allowed to live after taking the lives of three inocent young people and distroying the lives of these families.
I hope Misty gets a life sentence too. She is the one who put Harbison up to it.

Written on UPDATE: Roy Lee Ward sentenced to death:

Ward should be injected before leaving the courtroom. This would be the only just thing to do with him.
Where was the judge, jury and reviewboard July 11, 01, when he tied Stacy's hands and had his sick way with her, then sliced her to death?
These sick crimnals need to be dealt with in the same harsh way as they treated their victim, instead of being kept up by the goverment (tax payers money) as though they were in a luxury hotel, not having to turn a finger to receive all their needs.
There are too many bleeding hearts influencing the treatment of these nut cases, to the point where they don't have any fear while committing the most vicious crimes, knowing they will spend years or even decades living the easy life without a care in the world... except where's that guard with my goodies.
Whatever happened to swift justice?

Written on Youthful Cosby routine might not fly today:

Len, what you did was try and flatter an entertainer whom you felt was the best at the time. Many people bought Mr. Cosby's albumns and played them over and over while rolling with laughter. Skin color didn't play a roll in the routines Cosby did, he presented life as it was for children, whether they be white or black, and he made us laugh at ourselves.
Those routines could have been performed by anyone and still have been funny.
The comedians of today don't think they can be funny unless they insert profanity in every line. Black comedians go for the laughs by refering to their race using what is considered a no, no if done by a non-black person. Yet, no one at the NAACP gets bent out of shape about it.
The non-political correct language has pretty much dissapeared from the lips of the non-black community, yet flows constantly from the lips of black comedians trying to be funny.
If those words are wrong for one person to say, then those words are wrong for any one to say.

Written on Judge upholds Davis charge:

It is a sad situation for all the families invovled in this.
My opinion is that Misty may have put Nick up to going after Spencer, knowing that Nick had a short fuse and would do something horrible to him.
I feel that Keela, Becka and Cameron may have tried to defend Spencer and enraged Nick more. (Just my opinion... but I know how teens are.)
According to media reports, Misty's parents did the right thing when they received the call from Misty and called the police to tell them where Misty, the baby and Nick were. I can understand them trying to stand by their daughter, if for nothing but moral support, as any loving parent would.
Even if Misty is guilty of being an "accessory after the fact", her parents, as far as anyone knows, have done nothing to reap the negative reaction from the public.
I hope Misty gets her day in court and the truth comes out about her involvement in all of this, and that she gets the punishment she desirves. However, that will be up to a jury to decide.
It does make me wonder why Misty's attorney is so dead set of keeping her from going to trial. If she is inocent then she has nothing to fear.

Written on Deer season can be amusing:

Every trip I make to town and back I pass several deer along the side of the road. It doesn't matter the time of year, there are deer. I always have to be cautious and make sure one doesn't run or jump in front of me.
While deer are beautiful to look at and must serve some purpose, they are mostly a nusance to me, eating my garden and fruit trees. Yet, I don't respect those two pochers from S.C. taking a deer out of season. They need to have their guns taken away and never issued another hunting license or gun permit for this kind of action.
People like this are the ones who give real hunters and fishermen a bad name.
Another error these two made, and those who are actual hunters and fishermen won't make, is getting permission from the land owner before trespassing on their property. Which gives land owners even more reason to not allow hunting or fishing on their property. Again, making it hard on those who try to do the right thing and have respect for others.
They should also take their automobile and make them walk back to S.C.

Written on Tavern faces civil suit:

There is a reason why the law requires people to be over 21 years of age before they can leagally drink alcohol. The law figures that by the age of 21 a person has enough sense to know what is right and wrong and act accordingly.
Alcoholism is a disease that hurts, not only the person who has it, but everyone around them. I know I lost a loved one because of the disease.
Suing the tavern owner, bartender, waitress or others who serve alcohol is not going to stop the problem of drunk drivers.
I think there needs to be other safeguards inacted, such as insurance companies refusing to cover anyone who receives a dui. Then those without insurance must post a $250,000.00 cash bond with the state to cover themselves.
The breathalizer at bars idea seems to have some merit. However, the servers should require everyone to take it before being served, then they know what the playing field is before they begin serving. Then require a test before each drink there after is served to monitor the customers sobriety so they don't over-serve anyone.
This will avoid any confrontations over a person who leaves the establishment from driving drunk.
The breath test should be recorded with the person's drivers license number and the date and time of each test so the bar has a record of each patron's condition while they were there.
If this type of system cannot be setup, then I don't think the establishment can be held responsible for any of their patrons actions.
Once a child has reached adulthood, they are on their own and their parents are no longer responsible for their behavior.
My heart goes out to Mrs. Mudd for the tragic loss of her loving husband and to their children for the loss of their father and all of their family for their loss. My heart also goes out to Joshua Hodge's family for what they are going through because of alcohol.
I'm sure someone had mentioned to Joshua that he might have a drinking problem, and possibly should seek help. Should Mrs. Mudd sue all those who knew that Joshua had a problem and didn't demand that he get help? Do these people share some of the responsiblity as well?
There is a problem in this area with alcohol. It seems that very few of the people here know when to say when. Too many people have the idea that they can't have fun unless there is alcohol involved. This is even the case at political events. Every public even, except the Fair, seems to revolve around the consumption of alcohol. Even the Philharmonic had a beerstub last week.
There is a problem here and it is not with the bars, it is with our social climate.
