Talk:Essay:Greatest Conservative Legislation

Aschlafly- Please, could you explain why you reverted my changes? I didn't think the Volstead Act was exactly 'great', do you? Drinking decreased by only about 30%, and everyone else was drinking illegally. "By 1925 in New York City alone there were anywhere from 30,000 to 100,000 speakeasy clubs" [1]. Besides, it allowed gangsters like Al Capone to make a mint off of illegal sales. The police weren't even able to enforce it! Additionally, when you revert changes could you offer some sort of explanation? It makes contributing to this encyclopedia frustrating when changes are constantly reverted without any explanation.

Ferno, you were the one who reverted someone else's edit, and you did not provide a meaningful explanation. Given the harm caused by alcohol, with 10% of the public alcoholic and 25,000 a year killed by drunk drivers, and hundreds of thousands killed by alcohol-related diseases, someone else's edit is at least worth debating before censoring immediately.--Aschlafly 20:05, 14 May 2008 (EDT)

I at least gave some insight to what I was thinking. I said "The Volstead Act wasn't exactly 'great', ever hear of the gangsterism of the 1920s?" in the edit summary. You, however, just reverted with no explanation. I apologize for attempting to better this article. I had thought that prohibition caused more problems than it solved, but I was obviously wrong because you happen to disagree. By the way, your claim that I censored it immediately doesn't make much sense considering I removed the Volstead Act nearly it 5 hours after it was added.
