Unfortunately I don't, but I'd like to say it is nice seeing others have interest in this American time period, as it fascinates me as well. I should give that book a read! A favorite saying of mine is "history doesn't repeat itself but it sure as hell rhymes," and we can learn a lot about the present from the past. It is so weird that the 18th amendment even passed, considering the amount of business behind it. Thinking about that happening again, with say, smoking, just seems like an impossibility due to lobbyists.

Definitely an interesting point about it damaging peoples respect for the law, i know my respect for the law is very low and the war on drugs is definitely part of that, as well as seeing how technologically illliterate many politicans are and how the law can be easily used to target certain groups for stupid reasons, while ignoring actually important issues like climate change
