One thing is clear in AA literature, AA isn't a temperance movement, so you guys have one for me!

I think MADD could use a tip from AA.

Thank you for the reminder, I'm now in the process of finishing off the half-pint of Maker's Mark I bought (Good stuff, probably not worth paying that much over Seagrams 7 though, IMHO)

"The people in the gun culture have a better safety record than any police department in the nation, but in
several states actually prohibit us from using guns for self-protection, and in all the other states except one
they make us buy a license. They tax us so we can have more cops, and when crime still goes up, they tax
us more and ban more of our guns."

Oh, dear, a though provoked...

But for prohibition, Papa Joe Kennedy and his brood might have achieved the obscurity they should have.

Is it terribly inappropriate to reach for the Bushmills Green Label?

gunsmith,

The story goes that Winston Churchill, on being told that Lady Astor was a teetotaler but not a prohibitionist, replied :  "Good!  More for us!"

We thank you for your efforts!

Only if you're drinking with Catholics =D

I prefer Powers, Collins, or Jameson myself.

"Scotch" also means someone who is cheap or miserly ;)  It doesn't help a pun if you get all nit-picky about it :laugh:

As I don't drink, I will celebrate by losing my job, wrecking my car, beating my wife, kicking the dog, and then having a passionate romance with an ugly chick.  :P

I'd hate to see how you celebrate when the gov't repeals the Second Amendment....  ;/

Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".
