Two questions:

1) Why did American Prohibition fail?

2) We've had an official "War on Drugs" for most, if not all, of my life, but the drugs we're at war with are now more popular than ever before. Why?

One observation:

Passing a law that cannot be enforced, or when it is enforced causes more problems than having no law at all, seems quite curious and there seem to be no logical reason for doing so.

Regarding those two questions, one possible answer from Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged, 1957?
“Do you think that we want those laws to be observed? We want them broken.
There’s no way to rule innocent men.
The only power the government has is the power to crack down on criminals.
Well, when there aren’t enough criminals one makes them.
One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.”
And, every year they keep adding more and more laws to the ones we already have.

Some Ephesians 6:12 related questions:

What is the name of the spirit that posses freedom lovin' voters and makes us believe putting people who live to control in power over US is a good idea?

How do we cast it out and get rid of it? Anybody know a good exorcist?
