Yeesh.
Are you guys serious in you think this is the first step to the thought police... You guys sound really paranoid about this. Does it really honestly change anything except you really have to think about having a third beer when you are out with friends and you think that this is the start of the end of democracy or something like that. The argument is that it is a cash cow, but I assume that if it tied up the court system people would be arguing it is a waste of time and money... When all really anybody cares about is it effects their right to drink a few drinks.
