Transcribe theses math/affects, say five hundred times more frequent to Anchorage..which is after all just a bigger village.. and it might explain the solid recurring costs of "alcohol abuse" to us all... and maybe some will begin to see the overwhelming hurt that comes from alcohol.  
We went to the line before with prohibition in the thirties and it didn`t fly.  It won`t fly today either, as long as a community has enough voting members to be influenced enough to return the community again to wanton destruction of prior years, and find it...acceptable.

What did Einstein say about doing the same thing over and over?
