If they tried something like tax/tariff on out-of-state liqueur, it would increase prices for most. There is also an option to give the in-state distiller a tax break ?????

Our world is changing and the government will attempt to protect our rights since some people believe there is actually privacy on the web. Of course millions and millions tax payer dollars will be spent to protect those people while the folks who are a little more reserved will foot the bill. There are so many things or events that cost country money, I am not sure how we will ever get out of debt and from what I have seen our leaders are not helping as much as they could. Time for new leaders who make it a priority.

If he had been drinking prior and done this here in the states, I can only imagine the consequences. I think that due to the circumstances, the scenario of war should not be considered as a reason for mental instability. Would he have done this if he had not been drinking?

Because it wasn't large enough to rupture the crust and there was no fault to shift, no quake. Just an eerie rumbling and sound that would reverberate through the ground and make you think the world was ending and another feeling to change your underwear.. Just a theory from a finance guy?

A tragic scenario that turned into a good lesson for all and the hero's were recognized. I get tired of hearing of the stories where there is no happy ending. Seems that the news latches on to tragic stories with unhappy endings all too often. Good Luck to the Berg's and may your future use all the lessons learned in the past..

I have to believe that this was an accident regardless of the negligence.

I am still trying to get my arms around how an idea like this can manifest itself into this kind of obsession. What would make him think this would do anything to hasten the inevitable bankruptcy of the United States of America or was he trying in his own way (Wrong) to get congress to realize that things have to change or we will be in serious trouble as a country.

The perp does look kinda young himself and kind of pretty like a woman. When he goes to jail, chances are he will know what it feel like X 10.
