DRIVING at a high speed while legally drunk makes heroes look not so heroic. But when governors, legislators, doctors & other cono*sewers aprove of drinking & want to make liquor more convenient by putting it in grocery stores we should expect a more ignorant, challenged society.

YOU didn’t? You told all of your *simpie* customers about the barfing I gave you & your beer*s*tink*lizer Tshirt outside the grocery store last week? Did the belly slimming star fish teach you that clever response? I quote you: “What it is?”

My brother-in-law gave me a little lecture at our family reunion about smoking.
I will agree smoking contributes to a lot of diseases as people age. However, cigarettes never made me stupid like alcohol or illegal drugs.
People who use alcohol or illegal drugs know they cause them to do things they would not normally do. Some of those things are dangerous. Some of those things can kill or injure them, family or friends or innocent strangers.
Stupidity from a drunk or illegal drug user can mangle, maim or kill people at any age. Smoking or fast foods usually only kill the user after many years of use.
So, smoking and fast foods can contribute to a serious illness and death someday.
Stupidity from alcohol or illegal drugs can injure or kill any day — even today.
Think of that when doctors or researchers say alcohol is a health food.
They should be saying it is a stupid, ignoramus drug.
How many alcohol drinkers only drink one or two a day and never get drunk? How many are more like college bingers?
Is the one or two a day people tell doctors and researchers about the same as the one or two they tell police officers about at sobriety checkpoints?
Now, what are we going to teach kids about the ignoramus drug? Are people going to laugh it off and make a joke out of it as usual?

An intriguing non-Danny classified. This, like Shultz’s work, appeared in the “PERSONALS” category of the classifieds. Seems quite personal indeed!
TRAGEDY
What is tragedy in a family?
When you lose a loved one or is the real tragedy when the family pulls apart? In families the oldest is the head of the family, even if he is right or wrong, he is head the family.
Although the mother supported home all her life plus financially, he can not leave her rest in peace. Is it because the one heir is greedy?
Just too bad that the deceased, who did not have a dishonest bone in her body, strived to keep her family together, for ninety five years. Should have this sort of thing happening after her death?
The deceased must be turning over in there grave. I pray to god that they are not. VT.
Annoyance at the opening of the North County Brew Pub in Slippery Rock, PA dominated Danny’s classifieds through early 2002. He was a harsh critic of the business, and not its only critic. From this letter to the editor by one of the Pub founders, readers may get a sense of just how deep the non-Danny opposition to this little microbrewery ran…
In 1997, Jodi Branem and I scouted through every commercial building in the town of Slippery Rock. To many of us, it seems as if the only time Main Street is bustling with life is on graduation day at Slippery Rock University, or any other day of the week when we witness families lined up on Main Street to turn west, heading for Interstate 79.
The only traffic problem we’ve noticed is that people can’t get out of town quickly enough.
We began renovating our building immediately, working full time while gutting 10,000 square feet.
We went to every town meeting that time would permit and continued to collect recipes and plan as we listened to the Slippery Rock community say, “We want the choice of a glass of wine or beer with dinner.”
This was two years before redevelopment was mentioned. And now more then ever, Slippery Rock has the potential to become the picturesque town we’ve all dreamed of.
When the borough residents voted the town “wet”, we didn’t immediately post our orange PLCB placard. We first launched our website, www.northcountrybrewing.com, so that any misconceptions could be answered in an open forum.
We also had renderings drawn up to provide a visual of the atmosphere we wanted to create. We have many community-oriented events planned as well as Christian bands booked two Sundays a month.
We didn’t have any hidden agenda by booking these bands. We thought it would be something that everyone would appreciate on Sunday afternoons after church.
We were puzzled by the protests of United Methodist church and tried to meet with church leadership twice.
However, six months later, we received a letter from the church that asks that “we reconsider this business venture and find a business more in tune with your own stated high moral and religious values.” Somehow handcrafted ales and sodas led to, “. . .we are against alcohol and other drugs.”
These distorted views of what we are planning have grown to the point where our differences need to be resolved in public.
For that, Jodi and I are truly sorry. We wish that our neighbors would have been more direct in relaying their concerns to us early on so that we could have met as friends and worked out the bumps before we hit them at full speed. If anyone had ever talked with us, we could have presented the parking solutions that we have planned.
We envision North Country Brewing as a unique business that doesn’t compete with any other business in Slippery Rock or in the area.
We’re talking about the choice of hand-crafted sodas, ales and awardwinning Pennsylvania wines with dinner, not “alcohol and other drugs”.
Again, to the congregation of the United Methodist Church, we are truly sorry, and we extend an open invitation to meet with you.

WHY are all of you young flowers leaving? Don’t you wanna grow your
seeds in a scummy bucket of weeds?

DEAR: Watermelon,
Would your like to raise your seeds in a state like Utah where crud is illegal
or Nevada where most crud is legal?

In the June 25 Butler Eagle, Nicholas Kristof wrote a column about Muslim extremists threatening to kill anyone who sells alcohol. Then a Christian who owned a liquor store was killed.
We might not be Muslim or believe as they do, but alcohol and illegal drugs are responsible for killing and maiming a lot of young people.
Just before Prohibition, our own parents, grandparents and Christians bopped on the head a lot of drunks and bartenders who sold alcohol.
My own mother used to chase an old drunk around the outside of our house, whacking his head with a broom, after Prohibition was repealed.
They lived during a time when that kind of thing was considered necessary to make people think and believe as they did.
Maybe Iraq and other Muslim countries are in that stage today.
In our country, smokers sue tobacco companies for getting them addicted to their product and fat people sue fast-food companies for making them obese.
We do what we think is necessary to get people to believe in the things we do, just as Muslims do.
Since some people keep pushing their ideas on us today; maybe a bopping on the head is a good thing.
