I'd also heard the ban guns there too, very socialist authoritarian. No trust 
at all for your fellow people. Yes, I might not want to come there, though it 
might be interesting to visit one day, just to reminisce about where our 
country's liberty originated.

Not to worry, I rarely even drink and then have a strict personal policy of 
only one.

Oh, so blame me for it. :-)

And next time someone steals a car in your neighborhood, we can send the cops 
to arrest you. :-)

I guess bar dwellers may not exactly be representative of the mainstream.

In our martial arts school about a year ago, one of the lower ranked students 
came in one day with his face all bruised up. Where did he get beat up? 
Behind a bar. Why was he hanging out there? Because he drinks and it was fun 
and exciting. Good luck. I've never hung out in bars and have never been in a 
fight. It must go with the territory.

Jeez. Sounds like bars should only accept cash. I mean even a credit card 
could be stolen. The guy who owned it could be out cold in the back alley.

Can't say I blame y'all on that one, then.

But as a libertarian and someone who doesn't like being blamed for what 
criminals do, I'd rather see the criminals prosecuted and the rest of us 
trusted. For example what if a bar had a gateway exit with an attendant and 
people had to get the ok from their waitress before the gate would be opened 
to let them leave? Anyone who didn't pay could easily be held for the cops.

It's not a fine food restaurant so I don't deserve to be treated decently?
Well, we'll just have to eat only at the Ritz from now on. :-)
