Having the government own most of the liquore stores doesnt make much sense

Even though I lived in Halifax most of my life I find it weird most of the liquor stores are owned by the government. Only recently I learned they are called a Crown corporation. I like to call it a Clown Corporation, because you'd have to be a clown to have the government have a mostly monopoly on the liquor stores. If I want to get shit faced at home I should have the dignity to do it at home and not pay through the ass for it. I also shouldn't have to feel like i need to be treated like shit because people working in those stores tend to have a chip on their shoulder.

When you enter the store they say hello to you and act like a basic bitch. I usually just ignore people when people who work in stores say hello to me because I feel like they are insinuating I'm doing something wrong by walking in their store. If I needed your help Id ask, leave me alone. I'm not half retarded and I can find stuff I want, I have eyes and I can read and none of those stores aren't even that large anyways. It's not like I'm walking in a big box store.

Other places in the world I herd about, even other provinces make a lot more sense. I should be able to buy liquor at a corner store. Convenience stores should be able to sell alcohol, having the government have a monopoly of liquor sales sounds like fascism to me, a lot of people would agree. The government should stay out of most of the choices of it's citizens choices and shouldn't subject people to bullshit like making them go to a Clown Corporation store.

I've lived under a rock most of my life and didn't talk to most people in Halifax, except for a few close friends. I'm a bit weird and a lot of people think I'm from somewhere else even though I've lived here most of my life. My parents moved here when I was a little kid. That's probably why I have ideas like this, because I've talked to people from other places from the world a lot of them thousands of kilometres away or across oceans. My dad had internet access since I was 12, and I used it a lot since i was 15 when i found things like ICQ and IRC.

People around here seem not to care or see something wrong with things like waiting in long lines in front of a NSLC. You see inane cartoons about it, I forget what it was about. You know, if the supply of alcohol wasn't artificially limited by a handful of Clown Corporation Stores around the city, like if you could get your six pack of beer at a corner store shit like that wouldn't happen.

Maybe they do it to curtail things like drunk driving, walking intoxicated or alcoholism. It doesn't do a whole lot for the issue and i think the government shouldn't act as a nanny for it's citizens. If I want to fuck up my liver or drink myself to death the government should let me do it. It probably makes alcoholism worse. Think of those homeless people that bum change for an overpriced bottle of rum. Things like these stores are making people want to drink more.
