After reading through this article this morning it felt a lot like the debate going on in TSCC over doctrine vs policy vs revelation. And it should be no surprise since TSCC writes the legislation that controls the liquor laws and DAB commission in Utah.
"Anytime that there's a lot of discretion built into the liquor code, it invites a lot of controversy and kind of puts them in a difficult position," he said. "It's best if things are spelled out in code instead of putting the DABC and the liquor commission in the awkward position of have to divine what the Legislature might mean."
"Divine" what the Legislature might mean?! How about I stick this rod of Aaron up your commission and see if that help!
This is the problem TSCC and Utah's church run government will have in trying to regulate every aspect of people's adult lives. They'll keep backing themselves into a corner, fighting against social pressures.
Now I can't argue against the logic that beer and axe throwing might be a bad combination (if only the lawyers would let Darwinism happen), but karaoke and beer definitely need to go together!
