I dunno, in CA we can buy beer, wine, or hard liquor in our grocery stores.....I don't understand why the other states don't move out of the dark ages.

Sounds like you are trying to find the difference between a Written and On-line Petition. I myself perfer the written ones as On-line petitons can get passed around and lost in the process.   Get a group, get your paper signed and make some waves.

If you're looking to go out to drink, then yes, bars and restaurants are open. Otherwise, I think you're out of luck as far as liquor goes. Beer should still be available in supermarkets. Depending on where you are, you could go to New York since their laws tend to be more lax.

What State? What City? This question can't be answered as written

You can go to the law library and look it up! why is Massachusetts having as much of a problem with vandalism and any part of the rest of the country?

I am sorry. I was lost in prayer. Welcome to our church. Here is a beer. How can we help you? And, may I say, you are looking very very nice today, if you know what I mean. :)

It's been going on for years, the press reports what they want you to hear and people believe it. Poles are unreliable, but while you asked here's a question, Why do people in Mass. keep re-electing Ted Kennedy? Now there is an idiot! Did you vote? If yes great but, if not here is your answer: Too few people pay attention to the issues and fail to exercise their rights to make a difference. They just want to complain, and whine!!

I think if you were to go just from polls, people in Massachusettes started out being against it by a small majority, and now support it.  This was the only link I could find, although I don't think this is the most un-biased source available:\n\nhttp://lesbianlife.about.com/od/wedding/a/MassOneYear.htm

1. Yes! But that'll probably never change\n\n2. I think the bigger problem lies in US companies moving overseas....I wish that would be addressed as much as this illegals crap has lately. \n\n3.*sigh* yes (as I pawn another ring to get gas money for the week)\n\n4. It's a problem, but not as big as the others.....just move away from the shore people...\n\n5. Ugh....yes, how many more years? 3? ****....\n\n6. A bit redundant....see answer to question one\n\n7. See above (although not nearly as badly)\n\n8. Nah, if you've got a mind of your own, you know what to believe and what not to.\n\n9. Please....no.\n\n10. Heck no...\n\n11. Yes....if the pres. doesn't have to follow the law, why do we? Bunch of bullsh!t if you ask me....\n\n12. No (within reason), I think a woman should have a right to do what she wants with her own body.....but those late term abortions....those have gotta go (shudder) unless the mothers life is in danger - and then -once again - it should be her choice.\n\n13. I don't see a problem with this....isn't that what church is for?\n\n14. Don't quite get this one...unemployment is a problem yes...(see answer to question #2)\n\n15. Should be available to ALL. Just because some poor childs parents brought them over here illegally, doesn't mean they should have to suffer for it.\n\n16. A-Ha! I didn't read ahead, my bad....I've alreaady answered this, so there ya go....\n\n17. Pure INSANITY....yes...\n\n18. Being blown WAY out of proportion, just ike the flu last year. Most people won't be affected by it, and if they do,it won't be any worse than the regular flu.\n\n19. sure, ok, yes I guess, lol\n\n20 No.

WOW! What are the chances I would randomly find someone here talking about Berlin, NH, of all places in the world!!! I live in NH and have lived in Berlin before. They are from the paper mill, which is now being shut down! And soon those pipes won't be there anymore! A lot of people lost their jobs, but at least the town won't smell so HORRIBLE anymore, which is what the town was known for. There is also a smaller paper mill you will notice as you are leaving Berlin. That one is more in Gorham and is still running, but strangely doesn't smell really :). This should definitely be your answer haha!

Rev Trask. He's lives near here I think. Didn't he say he was from Bangor , Maine. I live in Derry.

Excellent.  I don't normally answer questions from the US, as it's not my culture and I wish US residents would refrain from advising Brits on legal matters as if our laws were identical.  We're different.\n\nBut this is clever and ironic, love it.

f_chuck...\n My rights are being violated, as a New Orleans citizen.\nYour rights as an American period!\nwhat color they are wearing doesn’t mater ,what matters is the fact that we are staring down the barrel of automatic rifles, illegal stops and searches, and the overall military presence in the city.\n I listen to my police scanner, I hear what they are doing and saying, I travel all over the greater New Orleans area, everyday.\n \n and pam....you should Google a little before you comment!\nthis is not the first place the National guard has done this, Knoxville, New Mexico, all over. \n \nA few months ago, during Katrina (when the police ran like sissies) maybe their presence was a little more understood, overboard considering the rescue crews but somewhat understood.\n\nSo the same guns that protect our boarder, are the same guns pointed at our kids in New Orleans...\n\nAs far as the Mayor goes, I kinda agree as most politicians are just a pawn in the over all bigger, more sinister plan. He does still make decisions that affect me directly.\n\nJust to answer the question you’re asking now! No, I’m not a criminal, I’m a white female law abiding citizen that wouldn’t violate a single law. It's not just the stereo types being affected by the new police state, it's anyone with chrome wheels, on the streets after dark, anyone that stands out in any way.\n\n I guess if 60% of New Orleans wasn’t still destroyed almost a year later, more New Orleans citizens would have the internet and ability to comment on this sad situation.

If your state has an initiative process, you can take your idea to the people. If you get enought signatures for your petition, then it goes on the ballet. If the majority of voters say yes, it's law!
