: Please recognize that some widely taught things about history are actually false or misleading.  Guess what:  not everything you learned about history is actually true.  If you really want to get to the bottom of this, then realize ''why'' there is a [[political benefit]] for people to claim (falsely) that Prohibition could not last because of the problem of "gangsterism".--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 16:35, 16 May 2008 (EDT)

::A major part of the problem is that Prohibition was not '''continued'''.  God gave us this country, and wants us to keep it pure - and Prohibition was one of the smartest pieces of legislation every enacted.  If only we could bring it back, we would be free of much of this heathen modern world, polluted by the 'Demon Drink'.  If anyone is interested, I support Gene Amondson's campaign to bring back prohibition  - http://www.geneamondson.com/mission/  [[User:MarianS|MarianS]] 16:57, 16 May 2008 (EDT)

At least now I understand your argument, Aschlafly, even though its hard for me to believe that prohibition did not have a significant effect on organized crime. And to MarianS, I think that should be a debate topic. Remember, Jesus drank wine!--[[User:JArneal|JArneal]] 17:32, 16 May 2008 (EDT)
