But the 'mission statement' of the blog covers it all:<BR/><BR/>"One person's reasons why the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board should be abolished, and the Pennsylvania Liquor Code completely overhauled and rewritten, to reflect the 70-odd years of change since Repeal."<BR/><BR/>It's just Reason #1 so far.
