Nanny-statism to the nth degree. I know, let's do this in Milwaukee-- then you won't be able to drink or smoke in bars. Granted, that might have a small detrimental impact on business-- but since it's a public safety issue, that's okay. Right?

Here's a thought-- why doesn't Carolyn Beck send undercover agents into bars who then arrest clearly intoxicated individuals as they get behind the steering wheel of their vehicle?

To paraphrase Pastor Niemoller's famous words:

First they came for the smokers, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a smoker;
Then they came for the inebriated, and I did not speak out--
because I was not an inebriate;
Then they came for the overweight, and I did not speak out--
because I was not overweight;
Then they came for me--
and there was no one left to speak out for me.
