Good piece Wind, thanks. I came across alot of this information when I first started researching prohibition. The schafferdrug library has some great reads from those days.
Can you imagine someone standing before congress and making these types arguements today?

I know you're not one of the Anti WOD crew SheLion, but there's some great info in this piece on earlier efforts to prohibit tobacco I thought you might get a kick out of.
Hope I don't offend you by pinging you here.

Can you imagine someone standing before congress and making these types arguements today? Actually, the arguments made today are pretty much the same in substance -- they're just stripped of the blatant racism and over-the-top sexual fears.
