When I woke up today, this was still America the Free. Tomorrow, I'm not too sure about.

The prohibition movement was big in America the Free a hundred years ago. It only went to far when it was banned nationally. Even then it was more effective than its opponents ever conceded. Even after it ended in 1933, the level of drinking remained below 1900 levels until the propserity of the '50s. That's because local option kept much of the country dry.
It also had the effect of squelching the trade in drugs. That didn't come back into the fifties either, being confined largely to honkeytonks and jazz bars.

You can thank the gutless, corrupt and ignorant politicians and the liberal left for the ruination of our country.
