“If it was so successful, why did the States repeal it?”

There were many reasons. One professor offers a few, if we read the full piece. But I’m not saying it was all bad or all good. Both sides just see what they want, because they’re guided by emotion, not reason. Perhaps if libertarians stopped censoring alternative views, the big picture questions and answers would emerge more frequently.

Needless to say, there’s no excuse for pretending Capone was created by Prohibition. He had blood on his hands, years before.
