Dry counties are about as lame as it gets.

     Yes. Why should a bunch of rednecks be able to revoke one's ability to drink alcohol?
You can drink in these places, just no purchase.

We live in a free country and are allowed to move if we don't like the local laws.  I think dry counties are stupid as hell, but I don't have a problem with sh**t counties in BFE doing it.  Who'd want to live in a place that uptight anyway?

     Meh. I've always wondered what was so great about moving to avoid one's rights being infringed as opposed to just stopping the rednecks from just infringing one's rights in the first place.

     In one case, the government is acting to protect the interests of the citizenry and in the other, it is allowed to bar the citizenry from purchasing alcohol. It seems to me like it would be ideal to prevent oppressive activities from governments (even local ones).

What if you can't just up and move?  Employment isn't exactly easy to find these days, and if you have a family to feed.  You should be able to drink all you want.  As long as it doesn't cause you to beat your wife and kids, but that's a whole other issue.

No idea who said that, and I'm to lazy to look it up.
