Prohibition -- the effort by deluded Christians

It's amazing how willing people are to absorb falsehoods to match their own prejudices.

Prohibition was a WOMEN'S issue. It was tied to women's sufferage. There is no way the Catholic church would have allowed Prohibition if it was a "Christian" issue.

They used it much as they use the new prohibition, It's a "moral" issue. Didn't work then, won't work now.
