Pro choice or pro life? 2nd amendment supporter or gun control? Anonymous has been such a force in all things internet I guess I should be happy you grace us with your presence here. <br /><br />However, I am the same every time and every place I post so whom is being the coward here? While not as famous as anonymous, and I probably never will be, I am known for being able to back up what I post and if you had that ability then you might be able to put forth a reasonable argument for whatever position you hold at the moment. Hard to say since there are so many anonymous posters. <br /><br />I like my nom de guerre, at least I'm not anonymous.

If not for Senator Chuck "Rent-a-Pol" McIlhinney, we'd have <b>had</b> privatization three years ago, and now it's only Wolf holding it up; the man needs a win badly, and the GOP will as well to balance against the Trump phenomenon. Deal time, people! Clearly not the time to let up. <br /><br />I'm not going to bother commenting on your insulting "Pennsylvanians are dumb" statement except to correct your assertion that <b>"This is a state that is near the bottom in income and education when compared to the other 49 states."</b> Latest survey by Education Week: Pennsylvania is 7th in education (yet Wolf wants to dramatically increase spending). Income? Pennsylvania ranks 23rd. Sounds like <i>you</i> need some education; your 'facts' are about as faulty as Wendell W.

The UFCW will stop at nothing (always stooping to a new low) and their friendship with the Democratic Party, which has a monopoly on urban votes the way the PLCB has a monopoly on wines and spirits, is salt in the wounds.<br /><br />Honestly though, this is Pennsylvania. This is a state that is near the bottom in income and education when compared to the other 49 states. I don't really think the average Pennsylvanian is wise enough to know or care about why privatization is needed. Don't get me wrong I love PA, but I can't help but notice how uneducated a lot of the populace is in this state. A lot of them are oblivious to how alcohol sales are different in other states. A lot of people that I know (yes I live in Pennsylvania) have never left PA in their lives. It's really a tragedy. The grass is only greener on the other side if you care to learn what you're missing. Ignorance is bliss. Do you catch my drift?<br /><br />Anyway, I am very disappointed in the PA Republican Party for not standing up to the UFCW and Democrats. It pains me to see the Republicans all over the country do everything they can to oppose Obama (I'm not taking sides here, just stating the facts) but our own Republicans in PA totally neglect their job to oppose the PLCB. The PLCB should never have been created and it has been a black eye for Pennsylvania for over 80 years. I guess the Depression and then WWII were distractions from the injustice of the PLCB in its early years, so by 1950 it was too late to undo the PLCB mess because unions already were entangled with it. Then came the 1951 liquor code.
