...but what we are drinking. In response to John Banks telling us all we where alcoholics because of the scandal around opening hours of Auckland bars. How often have you opened your morning paper and read a headline like:
“Man leaves upmarket Auckland wine bar after enjoying entire bottle of plonk and goes on deadly murdering spree!”

I have never seen that, ever. Why not only allow the upmarket places to open late and make the other bars close at 10pm or whatever.
-------------------------------------
This brings me to another point. It’s so tiresome that we have to pretend we like catering to everyone in society can’t we just have a half of cities for middle class folk who just want to enjoy a few glasses/bottles of wine or overpriced coffee in the afternoon with friend. We can have those outdoor shops where you can buy cloths even if you never go further outdoors than the edge of your flowerbed, some of those cloths shops that only seem to sell three types of overpriced dresses etc. Then the police could concentrate on the things important to this part of society like fashion policing and finding lost cats.

Then the other side can be for single mothers living on the state, people how like hoodies or bandannas and folks who like to drive around with large exhausts on their cars. They need not have the police they loath so much, their street gangs can keep order and peace.

Does this sound appealing to anyone else? Everyone ends up happy!
