I think Ross' open letter is excellent and clearly and intelligently articulates how the powers that be have so little understanding of how current liquor laws are bad laws addressing the wrong issues. Sorry to say it but "What a bunch of assholes" and "If I had to do it everyone should have to do it" are not very constructive responses to what has been an ongoing problem here for decades. I'm not sure what the right response should be but probably organizing performers and venue owners to present their concerns and ideas for solutions to the government would be a good start.
