Closing the tribal bar is not the answer

Mescalero Apache tribal members will be voting, on May 12, on the question: "Shall the Mescalero Apache Tribe permanently close the tribal bar?"

I believe the question is misstated. The more appropriate question should be: "Shall the Mescalero Apache Tribe be allowed to impose its values and morals on the entire membership of the Tribe?"

We need only remember our grade school history lessons to recall that the pilgrims left England and came to this country because they were denied freedom of religion in England. The pilgrims were forced to obey and submit to the teachings, morals, and values of the Church of England. The pilgrims found the freedom to worship as they pleased in the country that became America.
