DEL.ICIO.USThe good news: No argument over Sunday sales of alcohol
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Some of you around the state Capitol know Tom Mishou, who served as the sole staff member for the state boxing commission — making sure fighters pass their hepatitis tests and such — under Secretary of State Cathy Cox.
With Cox’s departure, Mishou has sought out a more peaceful clime than can be often found in the halls of state government. He went to Iraq.
“In the general area of Mosul,” is what he reports. “Other than that I really can’t say much.”
He describes himself as a “combat bureaucrat.”
“War creates a lot of paper work and I’m currently working in ‘document control.’ I expect to move through a few bases while I stay in-country, so I don’t want to get too settled in,” Mishou writes.
“We take in-coming mortar fire virtually every night. The nearest bunker is 12 paces away. I can make it in three.”
See? Not every Democrat is part of a draw-down.

The people of Georgia have a right to decide how they will conduct themselves from a social prospective. I have never been a fan of the government legislating social “imperatives” without cause. As a Christian I do believe that Sunday should be a day that we set aside the pleasures of the world to reflect on how we conduct ourselves. However, I also believe that the tyranny of the majority (i.e. the argument for no alcohol on Sundays fueled by Christians and like-minded sympathizers) is wrong. Should we say no alcohol on Saturdays because of our resident Muslim populations or no alcohol on Friday for our Jewish fellow-citizens? We all live in a melting pot, it’s imperative that this pot not take the shape of a particular cast. Rather, we should all struggle for understanding each other and encourage personal responsibility and accountability.
