BeerBottleExplosions

Breaking Beer Bottles for Liberty on the steps of the Colorado Capitol Building. Ari Armstrong, Amanda Teresi, Dave Williams, and Earl Allen all protest the Colorado Legislature's wimpy unwillingness to repeal one of the last vestiges of Prohibition: the grocery store 3.2 beer law.

I'm sorry but you would feed the profits of the big box stores and the little mom and pops would go under fast. You would drive up the business of the corporations that use foreign labor and materials and that would, at the end of the day hurt the US.

Not to mention the fact that you wasted a lot of beer.

I'm sorry but you would use the force and violence of government to unfairly protect *your* favored business over other equally deserving businesses. Doing so is a perversion of the proper powers of government. Government shouldn't side with one business over another: it should be completely hands off regarding business competition.

Force and violence? You are the ones smashing beer bottles in the streets.

[aerobatic]

What we did was anything but force an violence. We voluntarily bought and broke some beer bottles from a company we disagreed with. We didn't force them to sell us the beer and didn't use violence against them. We merely demonstrated our disagreement with their support of the force and violence of government. We attempt to persuade through non-violent means; they are using the guns of government to prevent us from voluntarily buying goods from their competitors.

I only wish the protestors hadn't purchased the beer manufactured by those who supported this bill that violates individual rights.

Gotta try everything for Liberty.
