The only amendment, after the first 10, that actually had good effects.

Puzzled as to why the Feds thought they needed a Constitutional Amendment to make a drug illegal in the first place.

Oh what delight to
Be given the right to
Be carefree and gay once again.

No longer slinking.
Respectably drinking
Like civilized ladies and men.

Because, in those pre FDR days, they actually took the 9th and 10th Amendment seriously.

Reporter: They say they're going to repeal Prohibition. What will you do then?

Maybe the propaganda wasn't strong enough for people to change society.

Or, perhaps, because way back then, people believed the feds were limited to certain enumerated powers, and banning booze (or other "bad things") isn't a federal power listed in the Constitution. That is, unless people take a statist/Orwelian/modern Democrat party view of the Commerce Clause as THE means for regulating pretty much everything.

Nonetheless, I'll take my scotch with some ice today.

Spike and the guys were part of my growing-up years. Always brings a smile to hear them.
