Get the state out of

the liquor business

I agree with the letter writer on Monday that we should sell off the state liquor stores ("Don't hike taxes; sell the liquor stores").

Financially supporting this system only adds to our financial woes. Firearms, tobacco, and legal drugs are sold on the open market with state controls. Why can't alcohol be sold under the same conditions?

The employees would still be needed by whoever buys the stores.

It's discriminatory,

or it's not

Why do we continue to use the term reverse discrimination? Something is either discriminatory or it isn't. Discrimination means making a distinction in favor of or against a person based on the group, class, or category to which that person belongs, rather than on individual merit. Why, then, is the term confined to people of color and termed reverse when it happens to white people?

By definition, reverse discrimination would be treating everyone the same, and wouldn't that be nice?

An alternate

scripture

I was dismayed that the courts ruled that Wesley Busch was not permitted to read from the Bible at his public school. As long as there is no proselytizing, or attempts to convert others, schools should permit students to read age-appropriate material of any type.
