CULLMAN —
Someone recently asked my opinion about the alcohol referendum on March 2 in Hanceville.
I said you mean the devil’s brew, the poison curse, the bloody monster that defiles innocence, dethrones reason, destroys the home, creates sickness and poverty, yea, literally takes food from the mouths of little children. If you mean the drink that causes over 100,000 deaths in the U.S. and the leading cause of deaths in teenagers, if you mean the evil drink that topples the Christian man and woman from the pinnacles of righteous, gracious living into the bottomless pit of degradation, despair, shame, helplessness and hopelessness.
If you mean the brew that causes risky sexual behavior, creates poor grades and job performance, if you mean the liquid substance that Mayor Nail, Councilor Walls, Wilson, and Alexander believe will bring in an abundance of wealth. No way. If you mean the elixir that would bring a Red Lobster or Applebee’s to our city, hey, don’t be fooled. The city of Arab used this campaign to get alcohol. No Applebee’s or Red Lobster has located there. They have an open bar and lounge in the downtown area. Now you know my opinion concerning alcohol in Hanceville. Let’s keep Hanceville special on March 2.
