Happy Canada Day!

The upshot of our State Liquor stores is the majority of the income goes directly into funding our school systems. I'm a bit rusty on the current state of New Hampshire educational funding, but as of about 5 years ago New Hampshire ranked one of the lowest in states accepting federal funding for public schools. By generating funding in state, we were able to achieve a high level of freedom in our schools. The result was some very strong school systems in a sparsely populated state. It's nice to see money for a "vice" be turned into a "virtue":)

"Now, remember, class, tell Mom and Dad to knock a few back over the weekend. We need new textbooks!" :o

Actually, we have state-owned liquor stores here in Oregon, too. It's fine except for the limited hours that they're open.
