To: Roscoe
Me: Because it is obvious that if the 18th is the only Amendment that's ever been repealed, it never had the support that those who pushed for it had claimed.

Roscoe: Wrong, the support in 1919 was overwhelming. Opposition grew over the following 14 years resulting in its eventual repeal.

BUT Roscoe, in post #374 you said..

Me: Er, they didn't TRY to repeal the 18th Amendment as soon as it was ratified Roscoe.

Roscoe: There was opposition from the very beginning.


NOW I can see what others mean when they say that you engage in circular arguments...

BUT Roscoe"

In 1919 supporters of prohibition outnumbered opponents. In 1933 they did not.

Not very hard to understand.
