Important American milestone/holiday

On Dec 5th, 75 years have passed since the 21st amendment to the constitution was ratified.

God bless it!

I have tried to get people to make this Friday a drinking holiday for years. I think it has good potential if one of the liquor companies got behind it. Lots of people who have no clue what Lent is go out and party for fat tuesday, and the same non-Irish non-Catholic non-fasters not-break their non-fast for St Pats which is now the largest on-premise holiday of the year.

A couple of beer companies do promos on April 7th, which is the date that beer<3.2%wt was legalized.

Repeal Day would make a great drinking-out and partying-out holiday.

I bet if pot was legalized the stoners would celebrate the day.

Come on drunks, lets part on Friday.

"... the whole rhythm section was the Purple Gang"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Purple_Gang

Albert Einstein defined insanity as doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results. His definition fits America’s war on drugs, a multi-billion dollar, four-decade exercise in futility.

The war on drugs has helped turn the United States into the country with the world’s largest prison population. (Noteworthy statistic: The U.S. has 5 percent of the world’s population and around 25 percent of the world’s prisoners). Keen demand for illicit drugs in America, the world’s biggest market, helped spawn global criminal enterprises that use extreme violence in the pursuit of equally extreme profits.

Over the years, the war on drugs has spurred repeated calls from social scientists and economists (including three Nobel prize winners) to seriously rethink a strategy that ignores the laws of supply and demand.
