And to be clear, I don't oppose this bill. I do think there is more stuff to be done that this bill doesn't address and there are some better proposals out there. When I spoke about concerns of closing liquor stores, I was talking about the hurdles of "modernization" in general, and then it all got derailed when someone described liquor store owners as drug dealing swine.
