When are you going to pull the fake quote off your home page?
Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded."
Abraham Lincoln (1809-65), U.S. President. Speech, 18 Dec. 1840, to Illinois House of Representatives

Why does that debatable quote bother you so much, cflaw?
Could it be that its common sense is self-evident, thus unassailable?
If Abe didn't say exactly those words, he probably said somthing to that effect on the subject at that time, now lost to history.
Wise man, Abe.
BTW, what do my home page 'keepers' have to do with the subject at hand?

When are you going to pull the fake quote off your home page? Some of them are more openly dishonest than others.
