<DIV><FONT size=2>Thank you Dan for your reply. I knew of this statute
from a long time ago.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>As you saw, my question is what is the rationale for the
statute? I can see where a case may be made for a public school, although
it seems a bit of a stretch, but for houses of worship?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Perhaps it is time to amend or remove this statute from the
<EM>Idaho Code</EM>.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Another question: If a business is not allowed to serve
alcohol near a house of worship, why are houses of worship allowed to serve
alcohol themselves?</FONT></DIV>
