Ohio Governor Ted Strickland, Democrat, has declared that there will be no beer or wine sales during this year’s Ohio State Fair because it’s a “family” friendly event, and apparently by definition, alcohol is “family” un-friendly.
- I have grown sick of the word “family” being used as a replacement for “children”, and the attempt to cast me as a second-class “anti-family” or “anti-children” citizen because I do not reproduce. Since when is the “family” some kind of moral absolute against which the worth, rights, and considerations of others is measured?
- What kind of stick-up-the-ass society do we live in when a responsible adult enjoying a cold beer on a hot summer day is considered an open expression of hostility toward “families”?
- Assuming reasonable adults still live in Ohio, why aren’t they mad as hell about increasing government contempt for their ability to conduct their own lives?
- I would like those of you who routinely complain about the “Christian right” and their zeal for pressing their moral beliefs onto others to remember that such behavior is neither exclusive to Christians, nor the right.

God, that shit. You want a reason why kids are growing up as self-centered amoral little jackasses? that shit where we act like the fucking world revolves around them is the single biggest contributor.
Bah. Fuck that “you’re a special flower” shit. What kids need is to be told, “You aren’t the center of the universe, you’re not even vaguely NEAR that. Get over yourself.”

Listen up, maggots. You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You’re the same decaying organic matter as everything else.
You’re not your job. You’re not how much money you have in the bank. You’re not the car you drive. You’re not the contents of your wallet. You’re not your fucking khakis. You’re the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world.

Wait, when did we start giving a damn about the idiots in Ohio?

Ever since they started voting. And it’s not just Ohio, as the first commenter from Kansas City indicates.

If it weren’t for alcohol (and the presumed drunken stupor that follows large quantities of it), many families would not have even gotten a start.
