A noble effort, undertaken and supported by those of us who desire a safe, sane, and drug-free America.
An evil effort, using the 'commerce clause' to regulate what people do in their private lives. Perputrated by nazis.
"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."
