75 yrs ago today...

>Prohibition was repealed 75 years ago December 5th. Let's remember the folly of trying to legislate against addictive behavior, and celebrate!

Hell yeah....I feel like Repeal Day was a big deal last year....I didn't even think about it until I saw your post. Better go out and buy some booze, just to exercise my freedom to get smashed....

I hear ya. I work until 11 which in MA means I can't even go and get beer after work. I may be going to a bar, but it looks like I'll be attacking my own bar tonight.

I've been waiting for Repeal Day all week, then Wednesday I started coming down with a cold. Sure enough, Thursday I was all-out sick. I'm better now save for a head full of phlegm, but that was a close one!
I didn't fight a secret war in Nicaragua so you could walk these streets of freedom badmouthing Lady America, in your damn mirrored sunglasses!

It's also the 147th anniversary of Richard Gatling applying for the patent on his woderous device.

I beleibe that is also the day that Columbus landed on Hispaniola.
