Ithought we went through Prohibition 1919-1932...which gave us the cherubic countenance of Carrie Nation, the rise of the Mafia, and a whole host of lovely consequences of an idiot law that doesn't work. It's strange that the loudest screaming for these prohibitions is coming from the left (all in the name of keeping America healthy of course), who would never refuse us an abortion even if it were hazardous to our health. Should I start dusting off grandpa's old still?

A prohibition that was almost 100 years ago is still trotted out as the example of why you can ban everything else, but not King Alcohol. Give me a break. The loss of life, the Heartache, the Poor Little Children growing up in Ruined Homes because of King Alc... it's just Pathetic.

BAN IT NOW! Stop playing little ball with the smokers. Why should the alkies keep getting a free pass?

Tax by the drink! Stop the Madness, people. Tax the Lushes, tax 'em NOW!
