Alabama vote.

[dford]

Hate I'm going to miss it, but have to head to work

 

[aubiecat]

college kids are going to brew no matter what.

 

[1stTimer]

I just tuned in. These arguments are crazy. I thought it was an SNL short at first.

 

[aubiecat]

Wow, wasting a WHOLE DAY on this bill. Embarrassing.

 

[CGVT]

Not Farley again...

 

[1stTimer]

Who is the guy talking the most? Sounds younger. This guy is a moron..

 

[CGVT]

Now they are claiming that all homebrew is high gravity... Twice the amount of a regular beer.

We're screwed.

 

[1stTimer]

Both these guys are idiots.

 

[jamboparty]

college kids are going to brew no matter what.

LOL is that a real quote? I'm in a training class at work so I can't listen.

Most college kids LOVE to spend hundreds of dollars (or more) for equipment so that they can spend about 5 hours brewing up a batch of beer that they can drink a couple weeks from now.

WAY more fun and convenient than going to pick up a case of cheap beer at the grocery store. Not to mention the portability of taking it to a party, etc.

 

[CGVT]

I can't take much more of this idiocy

 

[CGVT]

This guy arguing for the amendment is not helping our cause at all.

 

[CGVT]

Ammendment withdrawn

 

[Homercidal]

I don't know whether to laugh at you guys, or pray for you.

Again, it seems like someone would have done a decent job of showing what homebrewing is really all about.

Making marijuana? How does the ability to legally make something that you can already buy legally at the store have ANYTHING to do with an illicit activity already outlawed at the federal level?

Just a bunch of fear mongering ignorant inbreds pushing their constituents' supposed morals.

RICHARD J. LAIRD
KURT WALLACE
DUWAYNE BRIDGES

These are the idiots that have teamed up against the bill.

 

[CGVT]

Wallace again? WTF?

 

[1stTimer]

I am ashamed to say that I have most my roots in the state of Alabama. I love the state itself. Always will, but good god people.

 

[aubiecat]

Idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[aubiecat]

Randolph Co. Another backwoods county.

 

[CGVT]

Who is this guy now? I missed his introduction

 

[aubiecat]

I'm speechless.

 

[aubiecat]

Who is this guy now? I missed his introduction

Laird for the forth or fifth time. This guys is dumb as hell.

 

[CGVT]

I need to move

 

[CGVT]

I thought they only got two times to speak on a bill?

 

[DocBrown]

They're allowed to speak up to twice before any given resolution. They had the Budget Isolation Resolution (basically a vote to allow a bill to go forward before the budget has been passed), then they voted on the committee substitute. Now they have the actual bill up for vote.

 

[aubiecat]

Laird you are an embarrassment to the state of Alabama and I wouldn't want my kids to grow up like you.

 

[Scooby_Brew]

I think I can hear banjos playing the "Deliverance" song in the background

 

[BrewKnurd]

I thought they only got two times to speak on a bill?

Maybe the rule is you can only speak intelligently twice about a bill, so he still has two left.

 

[CGVT]

As much as 120 million gallons brew per year.

*sigh*

 

[ScottSingleton]

I feel sorry for you guys :/

I just tuned in to the audio to hear a representative ask for a yield, then go on to talk about increased "Risk" in homebrewing, how he wants to keep the kids safe, not expose them, yada yada yada.

I bet that guy has a bar with a bottle of booze sitting within reach of a kid and a chair. His hypocricy makes me want to vomit.
