| ...alcohol consumption declined dramatically during Prohibition. Cirrhosis death rates for men were 29.5 per 100,000 in 1911 and 10.7 in 1929. Admissions to state mental hospitals for alcoholic psychosis declined from 10.1 per 100,000 in 1919 to 4.7 in 1928. Arrests for public drunkennness and disorderly conduct declined 50 percent between 1916 and 1922. For the population as a whole, the best estimates are that consumption of alcohol declined by 30 percent to 50 percent. |

Quite possibly - however is that their fault? Or ours?
Respect!
It is not the label - it is the 'stamping' of me with it - name calling. The glue does not stick any more.
I do not know what a Libertarian is as a person only as a collection of other words from dictionaries and worded and verbal contexts. This is never a good way to think of a person IMHO.

i didn't say that :idunno:
It seems to be his idea of a successful plan. Unless he thinks a small decrease in alcohol consumption makes up for widespread disrespect for the law, and the rise of large organized crime syndicates.
Maybe that's it. Hard to say. But I don't think either of those makes any sense.

Yes, things are getting more worser everyday because there is very little deterrence in the law and sentences handed down by courts.
Even our spoken and written English is getting more worser!
You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.
Hey, all that's left is for Donald Trump to call me an adulterous racist.
You're gonna be really disappointed when you get there, and you can't find me, um?

If you think causing widespread disrespect for the law,and the rise of organized crime was a good thing.

if you think i'm saying that causing widespread disrespect for the law,and the rise of organized crime was a good thing, then you're more retarded than everybody thinks you are
better toddle off barbie and eat some more paste :wave2:
That's what you said was a good thing. As you now realize, that's what prohibition did. Have you changed your mind?
You seem to reflexively say "retarded" whenever you're embarrassed.
Well done, Sod. Arthur is wrong; you are constantly entertaining.

I have heard the whole 'system' described as 'arbitrary' which lead to statements like 'well if he had 'nooky' in the morning he might let you off' or 'if he is trying to met his quota' or 'KPI is the only thing they are worried about'
It is the lack of discipline of the individuals in the system as a whole that causes that 'But it doesn't work' cry.
There is also the belief that the system will 'respond' correctly and can be trusted to take care of those that need help.
Finally - when we pull on on thread of the world around us the rest of the world STILL remains attached. So when we talk about 'prohibition' referring to alcohol we must NOT ignore the REST of the world at that time.
