Comment: Allowing supermarkets to sell legal alcoholic beverages... should be a 'no-brainer'.

POLL: Should Maryland Allow Alcohol Sale in Grocery Stores?  "All of us former California residents find the Maryland laws on alcoholic beverage sales infuriating. In most every other state, including Virginia both supermarkets and liquor stores have flourishing beer, wine, and liquor sales. There is no shortage of liquor stores in states where supermarkets sell alcoholic beverages.

For the consumer, it's really a question of convenience and choice. Allowing supermarkets to sell legal alcoholic beverages shouldn't even be controversial. It should be a "no-brainer". Liquor stores will not go away, they will just be forced to be more competitive - provide better product, service, and prices to the consumer."

I think that's exceptionally good advice and applies to anyone making a large transition in their life, e.g. graduating from college, following a loved one to a new state or country, etc. Swallow the pride and the sense of entitlement - just because you're applying for or accepting a job you don't care to do or perceive as being below your skill set doesn't mean it's not a valuable experience and doesn't mean you're stuck at the job forever." -jag
