a long time ago , some church people looked at our society, they saw public drunkenness, and they saw families being destroyed by it.
they worked for many years to have alcohol outlawed.
our politicians didn't agree with the idea, they accepted bribes, they allowed smugglers to run wild, they acted like they couldn't find places that sold alcohol to the public, and they eventually got the law over-turned.
the way they have it set up now, alcohol is legal, but if you get caught with it you owe the government money, and you have to hire one of their lawyer buddies to defend you.
how do we go from thinking prohibition is the stupidest law in the world, to wanting to kill someone because they took a drink?
we're so used to this idea, no one realizes how stupid and corrupt it is.
they SELL the poison to you , then fine you and keep a record when you take it.

Er, only when you drive a car..
I've been drinking for 25 years. Never had any kind of issue with regard to the law over it.....
