Calm down, Dean.....

I didn't mean anything political etc. by that... just saying there is Good and Bad everywhere regardless of belief, job title, wealth, etc. etc.  Never judge a book by its cover, just because it looks good doesn't mean its good and vice-versa.

I was just saying to my wife how much our society has changed and its been so gradual that nobody realizes it.  On TV this morning they were showing how to make mixed drinks... on a Morning Show!  And drinking them!  On TV!      Never would have happened 20 years ago.   Incrementalism, makes me wonder what will be the norm in another 20 years.... maybe bartering?

I don't know how old you are, Dean....I just turned 58 and I think a lot about how things have changed.  Then, just yesterday I called my 81 year old mother....wow, talk about an eye opener!  I think every generation goes through the feelings that you have about change, but OTOH, there's no way around it!

Now, shall we keep this related to beer, or should I move this to the pub?

Each state has it's own laws for homebrewing including how much beer can be removed from the premises and for what reasons. It can even be illegal to give beer away!

Very true....Seattle was under consideration for NHC, but then we discovered that WA had a law that in effect (IIRC) didn't allow homebrew to be moved from your home!  Fortunately, a group of homebrewers there got that changed.
