I’m starting a new political movement. It’s called “Prohibition is over, so give it up, you dorks!”Our goal is the privitization of liquor stores.
Sure, back when Prohibition was the status quo, it seemed like a good compromise. “OK, alcohol is legal, but you can only buy hard alcohol at state owned liquor stores.” I can easily see them doing the same thing now with marijuana—legalizing possession, but requiring you to buy it only from licensed locations or state-owned stores. But today, state liquor stores are just a strange historical artifact. I propose that we preserve one state liquor store in each state as a museum to Prohibition and its historical consequences, set up the rest to operate as private businesses, and allow others to compete with the newly-privatized liquor stores.
People tell me I should use this blog to share my thoughts. So here they are:
