21-only bubbles back

21-only bubbles back



The Daily Iowan takes a reasonable look at this unreasonable proposal. Y'all know where I'm at: the real problem is that the 21 year old drinking age itself is unworkable and unenforcable, and I'm frustrated that none of my elected officials on the local or state levels will publicly say so. I can't take any bar-admission age or anti-binge drinking proposals seriously until we openly acknowledge that simple fact.



I'm also somewhat frustrated at the bar owners who are backing O'Donnell. (They're also with Amy Correia which is good). Garry Klein is so much better on so many other issues AND he's also anti-21.



This election is like a Survivor episode with its bizarre and unusual alliances. Throw in IBEW bullying labor into a non-endorsement over public power, with the resulting muddled message of "O'Donnell is bad, everyone else is OK but not perfect." Meanwhile, O'Donnell seems to have the rental property yard signs locked up, with No ahead in the business lot vote. Usually good indicators of how not to vote - just like Press-Citizen endorsements.



Anyway. My vote is in the box. Amy, Garry, and Yes. It's not often one gets to cast a direct vote against a multi-billion dollar corporation.
