The Alexander City Outlook

Alcohol’s negatives outweigh positives

Dear Editor,

This is in response to the editorial about the Sunday sell of alcoholic beverages in Alex City. I agree with Dr. Hallmark’s reply. I would like to add a point or two to the poll you took. The people were for the suggestion, but I wonder if they are Christian or claim to be. I wonder if they pay income taxes or have health insurance because over half the people in Alex City don’t pay taxes and some who want alcohol on Sundays don’t have health insurance. The negative side is it will cost more to take care of the negatives.

Another point, the same argument was made when the county was voted wet. Where is the result from that. I guess what I am trying to say is wow to my people when they call evil good and good evil. And Paul’s admonishment don’t do evil that good may abound. My sentiments are the same about gambling or electric Bingo.

One more point in America we have become so tolerant and politically correct that we have taken Christ out of Christmas. For what, greed?
