What it is is dead in the water. For now, anyway.
But I don't know about the comparison - just how evil is (sealed, bottled) alcohol per the Koran, compared to "thou shalt not kill"? And the difference is, the pharmacists lose the business; the cab drivers wanted an exception to having to go to the back of the line (ie., weren't willing to lose the business but instead wanted the world to change for them).
