  • @matt605 It can't be done. Look at this country's current War on Drugs for a good example. Its a total failure and all it does it turn people into criminals for the simple consumption of the drug.

  • @Pandaonfire5 louis armstrongs st james infirmary...or maybe another artist but that is the name of the song.

  • Misandrist pornography.

    Prohibition could succeed today because law enforcement is so much stronger.

    Homeland securitity can find a suitcase bomb, so a barrell of rum is no challenge, and a barrell of cocaine or heroin is far more lucrative. Just don't outlaw all alcohol. Beer, wine, and expensive liquors okay. Cheap liquor? Tax it prohibitively. The conclusion above is wrong.

    Say you're for cheap liquor okay, but don't say it can't be done. It can.

    (amazing what can't be said)

  • @DeePhlat Exactly, banning anything outright will never work if you fail to address the reasons why people want it! Prohibition didn't do anything about the reasons why people wanted to drink, it actually added a new reason to drink: defiance of a stupid law.

  • @Pandaonfire5

    St. James' Infirmary. Not sure who the artist is.

  • What song plays at the beginning of the trailer?
