The Bigger Picture

People today often do not realize (or choose to ignore) the hilarity of our modern day society. We believe that our government is doing the right thing, and we do not blame ourselves when they mess up. Popular Soverign rule is beautiful- until you add corruption, organized crime, and violence to the picture. The politcs you think are going on actually turn out to be strings being pulled by extremely rich leaders of organized crime. The quote “Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it” is in fact true.

The prohibition of the 1920s to the early 1930s was a complete and total failure. The fact that many people though that people would give up their "evil ways" is, funny and sad, really. The government thought and still thinks that they can control behavior. Such attempts failed as much as government attempts to alter the free market. Perhaps the current prohibtion will be the last, perhaps human nature will change.(It won't).
