IF YOU CAN DIE FOR YOUR COUNTRY, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DRINK:
The saying goes, "If you can die for your country, you should be able to drink."
OK, dying for one country is one thing, but turning 21 does not mean you actually
put your own life are risk. Or for that matter turning 21 does not mean you actually enlisted or even went to war or fought in a combat zone.
By saying, "If you can die for your country, you should be able to drink", you are also saying by the time a preson turns 21, they are EQUAL to soldiers who actually faced death or fought in a combat zone.
Even soldiers who have never faced combat are not thought of as EQUALS to veterans who have been in a combat zone and ACTUALLY put their lives are risk. So why should those who simply turn 21 be EQUAL to soldier who ACTUALLY was on the battlefield?
There is a BIG DIFFERENCE between "CAN DIE for your county" and actual "combat experience". Signing the Selective Service form you get in the mail at around 21 year of age IS NOT "combat experience", "enlistment", "service" whatsoever and DEFINATELY not putting one's life on the line.
If so, should anyone who turns 21 and signs the Selective Service form and mails it in, get Veterans Benefits since they are EQUAL to those Veterans who have served in actually combat?

Fat City Bar Last Call Hours and this whole New Orleans alcohol thing
In order to "educate" the clueless bar owner and employees, below are some points to consider.
Alcohol, Family Member, Absenteeism, TEAMWORK and Productivity:
A big reason why alcohol and New Orleans don't mix is because alcohol causes all sorts of society problems. Hence, it takes only one (1) family member to cause problems for other family members as other family member have to take time off from WORK to care for the other family member's mistakes in life.
Not just once, but for a LIFETIME. And because that one family member can
cause another familiy member to miss work, that in turn causes PROBLEMS with TEAM WORK at work cause that missing worker, even for family reason, puts a tremendous strain on the TEAM at work.
So what are these "time off's" from work?
Health problems like mom takes off from work to care for sick kid cause 'daddy' left them.Or maybe a constant rehab which means someone from the familiy needs to drive them to the rehab center. Or the mom has to stay home or take the kidto the doctor cause there is no daddy. Or take the kid to a parent teacher meeting cause the daddy is not being a father. If it's not one thing, it's another. Always another "EXCUSE", usually health related.
In fact, long ago in Great Britain there were laws to limit alcohol so that factory ammo workers would show up for work instead of hang out drinking all night long.

But does New Orleans have any real manufacturing jobs? NO.
24-hours bars, YES! Manufacturing Jobs. NO.
Then you got these bartenders who think that just because they have
a busy Friday and Saturday at 1am, they think that it should be 24 hours!!!
HELLO bartenders, customers to need to WORK in the morning, don't you know.
By the way, if 24-hours bars and alcohol made all that so-called money and tax dollars, what do you, New Orleans, have to show for it?
New Orleans is the POOREST city in the USA. New Orleans can barely even find enough money to pay for the garbage in the French Quarter and has probably the lowest paid city police and employees in the nation. (note: the city employees probably don't deserve a higher pay anyway since they are just too stupid and illiterate do do anything anyway. e.g. secretaries who can't type, no staff meeting for 2 years...seriously)
