Where/when did I say making wine was a crime?

Which came first? The chicken or the egg? You claim drug problems arose as a result of WOD? Why would there have been a WOD declared if the problem was non-existant? Are you saying it is WOD and not the actual drugs that are causing the problem?

Again, you are skirting my Q. Are you and attorney? Very evasive. I asked where YOUR statements/theory were implemented.Not talking free-market capitalism. Asking about your statements/theory on drugs.

I'll accept your revision/refinement of your original remarks re:Veterans. No problem. Actually, we are pretty close together on it. My medical care in Army Hospital? Excellant. VAH? I'd rather withhold comment...of course I have had a couple of bad experiences in civilian hospitals, but one has redress there.

Alcohol causes lethary but drugs don't?

You stated that people continued to operate backyard distilleries after prohibition was repealed. What other reason would you have to mention this unless you thought there was something sinister about it? Why bring it up? Was it your attempt to prove that the repeal of prohibition was a failure?

You claim drug problems arose as a result of WOD?

Not all drug problems. But, most. Did you think I was talking about all drug problems?

Why would there have been a WOD declared if the problem was non-existant?

The same reasons there's a War on Guns, War on Poverty, War on Illiteracy, War on Homelessness, War on Discrimination, War on Pollution, etc. People see danger and suffering and in their imagination they see a government program as a solution. Then there are the politicians who seize every opportunity afforded them to expand government.

Are you saying it is WOD and not the actual drugs that are causing the problem?

Yes.

I asked where YOUR statements/theory were implemented.Not talking free-market capitalism. Asking about your statements/theory on drugs.

There's nothing I can say now that I haven't said before. I asnwered this challenge several times already. I could repeat it again but you'd still reject it. I wasn't talking about free-market capitalism. I was making an analogy. And you know I was. You're being deliberately obtuse.

Alcohol causes lethary but drugs don't?

Did I say drugs don't cause lethargy? You asked me if I tried Everclear. You said it was like Moonshine. Is Moonshine not an alcoholic beverage?
