You have got to be KIDDING me.

Every day I wonder if the new WTCU will just go back to trying to ban alcohol outright again at some point. They've forgotten the lessons of Prohibition--maybe they'll forget the strategy they're using to reimplement it, too.

This looks like a done deal. Look at the vote....plus, it has industry-backing.

Reminds me of what's been happening with some other legal comestible commodity (tobacco).

Or maybe they have learned from the WOsD that there is a lot of money to be made in prohibition

The women's christian temperance union were fellow travelers to the mobsters which they enabled.. I suspect a dark motive behind their flowery veneer.
