Had this in our town of about 11,000 - sm

a couple of years ago. It passed, but then the minority that didn't win tried to get the law struck down, etc., but they failed again. Just meant people didn't have to drive a few minutes past the town/county limits to hit the liquor store and that Wal-Mart could sell beer and wine and that the city could now get some revenue from those sales!

This video is interesting. Why does America have to deal with those who won't assimalate to our country?

Update RE: Favoritism In A Small Town.Sep 26, 2011
Well, after I blew off steam here.  I decided to keep my mouth shut.  No telling anyone off or mouthing off in the stands.  I had very nicely asked the coach if there was anything my DD needed to work on to be able to be a flyer and I decided to just leave it at that.  I decided that I would alienate my daughter more by running my mouth and I decided nothing would change anyway.  So I threw up my hands in futility and swallowed my anger which was EXTREMELY difficult!

How Do You Handle Favoritism In A Small Town?!?Sep 20, 2011
I moved to this very small town 5 years ago, and I have noticed that favoritism, who you know, how much money you have, etc. plays a HUGE part in kids sports, school activities, town activities, etc.  Now, I'm not one of those mothers who thinks that my children are the best at everything they do and deserve to be the star all of the time.  Also I have seen it happen to other kids that aren't my own and I've heard other parents complaining about among themselves whilst s ...

Colorado Supermax Town To Obama: KeepNov 13, 2015
Islamic terrorists have no scruples about slaughtering schoolchildren and that's what worries the residents of Florence, Colorado, when they hear the president talk about transferring up to 61 Gitmo prisoners to the Supermax prison in their small town. It should also concern the prison towns in Kansas and South Carolina that the administration is considering as terrorist depositories. In recent years, Muslim radicals have taken two schools hostage, causing the deaths of 318 schoolchildre ...

"A Former Engine Of The G.O.P., The Town Hall Meeting, Aug 14, 2013
They're hardly alone in that. Our new congressman's "town halls" are a joke. He hides at the other end of a phone line his constituents can only listen in on, prescreened and scripted "questions" the only ones "answered," all statements made in politicalese--inane blurb devoid of information alternating with catchphrases designed to focus fear and resentment on the other party. Just wish the Tea Party and Freedom Works would start demonstrasting in his office; he was their candidate ...

Please VoteAug 06, 2016
Regardless of whether or not you will vote for the office of president, there are other offices which need votes. There are issues of various types, local and state issues, that need a vote as well. In my state of Ohio, each local county PAYS for the cost in that county. Whether anybody shows up or not, the polls are still open, the poll workers still get paid. The polling machines are still rented. In short, there is a minimum cost to run the election. In my state, if there is not enough of ...
