Just want to say.I'm not against drinking a moderate amount of alcohol, but I am against selling in my town. I don't like the clutter of the neon signs promoting it, we don't and won't have more restuarants after it comes. Check out what some restuarants used to be in Somerset. A quiet place to have a peaceful and nice dinner, not a bar with constant partying. Just pick up your drinks in another town,and come home to peace and quiet.

You can all ready buy all u want to drink in Columbia why not make it legal and see some revenue from it I don't have to move anywhere to have an opinion and if this was a wet county there would be far less teens able to get booze than does now, every body knows the kids get it here anyway ,at least a legal store would have to card the young ones, as for why they don't close the bootleggers down DUH!!!!! are you that stupid the brown envelopes have been around for years and years,I don't even drink, but if you wanted to keep things the same way they always were then bring back the horse and buggy ,take away the computers and drag out the ole moonshiners ,but guess what nothing stays the same,I don't smoke,eat at burger king,or pizza hut, and have no problem just driving by,the biggest thing is when you travel out of town to buy something to drink you see so many people that don't want to be seen (oh my)it's like the ones that go spend their food stamps in other counties so no one will see them.I beleive like the Bible says it's not what goes into the mouth that defileth it ,it's what comes out.The Bible says that the water was turned into WINE not grape juice, and to drink but not be drunken.and there are many ways to be drunken besides with booze,some people want to make all the choices for everyone else If you don't like it don't buy it it's that simple. Having known some fine bootleggers in my life I can tell you that any respectable one don't want to be turned in so the are very law abiding in most areas and would never sell to kids. And the law around here is not for sale.

And the law around here is not for sale. surely u are joking my own kids bought it here and in answer to the other post why should we have to let all the "bad stuff" in other counties be the result of someone from our county going there ,they will also buy gas, food and do other shopping there also ' because not everyone that buys drinks are drunks, you don't have to go into a place that sells beer or wine if u don't want to , but when you go to Glasgow and C-Ville to a place that serves drinks you see a large amount of Adair County cars there.there are many closet drunks in Adair County so this is not a squeeky clean little town to start with it's just swept under the rug if you are in the click, like Pot smokers if u took all of the people that smoke pot out of here you would be very surprised of how many are in the UPPER CRUST in our fair town!

Plenty of clutter in Columbia, just drive to town on the first Friday of the month when the checks come in, there's your clutter. Neon? Really and I suppose allowing the sale of adult beverages, would inhibit neon and dancing girls, along with mobsters riding on running boards firing Tommy guns. Here is potentially a major facelift for Columbia, w/o the glitter and neon. The town is dry, so is business, so is tourism. You think all of those out of towners that come in for Lindsey games eat and spend money in this town, don't think so. Seems to me the county and the city could lay on some local tax on the sale of the devils juice. That same tax money would trickle (slow albeit we are talking politicians here) back into the community. Money the "root of evil" is what pays the bills and buys things in this world. Who'd win if town went wet, all of us. The schools, the roads, business', little league sport programs the list goes on an on.

The love of money is the root of evil, wanting to sell booze in your county for the extra money to cure all the problems is a joke. I'm sure the mom's against drunk drivers will support this as well as all the people who attend the 100 or so churches will be in favor of it. This alcohol problem has killed more people and destroyed more lives then anything in the history of mankind.

MADD is not against drinking!!! MOTHERS AGAINST DRUNK DRIVING, not mothers against drinking. Choose your soap box wisely before touting a program that I am all for and support. As far as the 100 or so churches go, what exactly is that supposed to mean? Are these the same congregrations that speak ill will of their fellow man. The same folks that are busy bodies and talk crap about their neighbors. The same folks that over spend, just for vanity sake and to keep up with the jones? You see what I did there? Just as you just lumped every adult that consumes alchohal, I lumped every church going person. Doesn't seem quite right now does it.

Nice try, I said moms against drunk drivers....did not say against drinking. As far as churches go, one would think that christians would vote no to a wet county. Not sure how I lumped every adult who consumes alcohol into anything.....try another analogy.

Well, now they want us to drink but not smoke,,,please leave us alone.....According to them..you can drink in the restuarant but don't smoke, you might offend them.

MADD, per their mission statement is "opposed to the criminal act of drunk driving, not individuals." So please explain again just how it is they MADD would be in support as you so say to keeping this town dry. And while you are attempting to come up with a wity retort, please let me know which number within the 10 commandments (that's God's law in case you're wondering) states Thou Shall Not Drink?
I don't believe anyone stated that allowing sales of beverages would be a cure all either. But it sure as hell wouldn't hurt this local economy either.
There's plenty of programs, civic and community groups that would benefit from some sort of extra "root of all evil". I for one would be happy to see, if this town were ever to go moist, or wet more education from stellar groups such as MADD.
Your insinuation that the alcohol problem has killed more people yadayada, suggests that all those that drink fall prey to that statistic and that's just not true. Give it 10 years and thanks to this drug capital of the south, drugs will surpass that number.

Watch who you let make your decisions for you. I've never heard of someone getting lung cancer from sitting next to someone having a beer in a restaurant. Smoking in enclosed public spaces is a completely different topic than allowing alcohol sales in a restaurant. Thanks for the input though!

And, tobacco kills more people than anything. It is a fact. And I see lots of young kids at functions downtown smoking away. Isn't 18 the minimum age for legally smoking?

I do not drink, I do not smoke, I do not move to other towns and try to tell them what they should change. Please give me the same respect. Why are all the people wanting to change things,people who moved here and were not raised here. Why did they come here in the first place?

Why are all the people wanting to change things,people who moved here and were not raised here. Why did they come here in the first place? Why did Henry Ford have to make such a good vehicle? Why were unpacked muddy roads turned to concrete and asphalt? It's reasonings such as yours that will keep this town the way it has been forever;no growth, no real jobs, no new industry. And before you tout just how great it is to have Columbia and Adair county stay the same, why is it that all of these new factories and plants, which bring in more revenue (I know root of all evil) always seem to skip or not even consider this area? Jobs bring growth, tax revenue for the city county and state, and oh yeah they also bring along with the, huge improvements to the local mom and pop shops. Essentially, to grow, nurture, and excel sometimes change is good. If you don't think so, why are you using the big bad Internet and a computer? With your logic it seems you should be taking residence in Gradyville so you can shine the wheels on your buggy. Don't be a hypocrite and state why does everyone want to change things, when you use stuff that wasn't common place just 10 years ago.
