Smith County has NOT been dry for even close to 100 years yet. It went dry in 1937 and has only been dry for 72 years. Last time I checked there was a seperation of church and state. Who cares whether what retail alcohol sales impose on your belief system, if you don't like alcohol, then don't buy it. I live in a wet county and pass by the beer isle at wal-mart all the time and it doesn't phase me if I don't have the money for it. If I buy it, I plan to take it home to drink and stay off the roads, and if someone was drunk and decided to drive to the corner store to get more beer, well there is always a risk in that but 20 to 30 miles is rediculous to get booze.
