Caidog...my thoughts exactly!! Thanks for putting it in words for me. Everyone knows it isn't going to stop the problem but at least it might help the smallest bit. We are not trying to "save people from themselves"...we are trying to cut down on the costs WE pay for people who don't want to save themselves!

I think SeanWhite has a point; don't bash the mayor and council when they are trying to figure out new ways to solve problems. I laugh at the people that say we need more ways to "rehibilitate, educate...etc"; many cronic drinkers will not go to these programs even if they are free/available. They only go when they are made to by law and even then sometimes will not. We need to figure out new ways to get the alcohol not readily available; I don't have the answer on how to do this; but we need not bash the people that are trying to think of new ideas.

Must the News-Miner show more pictures of bloody dead animals!? I find this nasty and tasteless. Do what ever needs to be done to protect the people of the village, but don't show us the after math in full color, thanks!

The fact that everyone is against this motion says to me that they are the people getting drunk off cheap, hard alcohol. If it doesn't apply to you then it can only bring good, right?! Every law or ban set in place will help in some sort of way, it keeps the honest people honest and makes it a little harder for the dis-honest troublemakers. I wouldn't get in an uproar about it. If you are not a street walking drunk, then jump in your car (sober) after work and drive a little further to the Fred Meyer and get whatever type of booze you want.

I think it's stupid that the soldiers are being pin-pointed in this deal. They are the same as anyone else and have needs and urges like anyone else. For the topic of prostitution...what a woman CHOOSES to do with her body is her right. If she chooses to exchange sexual favors for money, that is her choice. I do not beleive in underage woman in prostitution or woman being made to stay in a situation they are not comfortable with; but if it is their choice to be there, who are we to judge? Prostitution cuts down on rape and abuse in relationships. A person is going to fill thier needs no matter what, so the better choice is to find somebody willing than to force a woman agaist her will!
