Like I said before, all states have some screwy liquor laws and I don't think that Massachusetts can be viewed in any way as a "conservative state". I know that you could buy home brew supplies in OKC/Tulsa before you could in Dallas, in fact in Texas some of the jurisdictions enforced the ban on home brew supplies just like some did on "sexual devices" that was never an issue in Oklahoma.

Personally, I think the majority of states need to clear the books and start over writing laws, there are so many antiquated and out of date laws that serve no real purpose anymore, plus there seems to be so many in conflict with each other. Laws written to serve the "moral purpose" of 100 years ago really have no place in today's society. Of course the other problem would be how to keep the special interests from actually writing most of the legislation. I feel that the number of actual laws at the state and federal should be as minimal as possible.
