heck, just last year the voters of the state of massachusetts rejected a referendum that would have allowed wine to be sold in grocery stores. just shows how 'liberal' and 'progressive' we are here!
I was hoping for the passage of that referendum as some consolation for the rest of that election cycle....but nope, the people of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, in their infinite wisdom, decided against it.
Civilized places like California sell wine in grocery stores...
As for the referendum: would fail miserably, even without the student vote. We depend a bit too much on the tourist trade and we have a very,
very socially liberal population.
90%+ against. (Before anyone says that'd be too much: my town voted 80%+ for Kerry, as well.)
