Interesting note to end a Friday afternoon at work: 75 years ago today, Prohibition was repealed.
I seem to remember a story I read about Marquette University on the day Prohibition was repealed. It said that Miller Brewing Company opened up and beer flowed down Wisconsin Avenue to Marquette University where the party last for a whole week.
I plan on goin out tonight and celebrate this day in history by partaking in the consumption of a few alcoholic beverages. But, on a serious not. Whenever Prohibition is brought up it is always a good opportunity to talk about the current "War on Drugs" and whether or not a Prohibition of drugs is worthwhile in the U.S.

Conservatism has really failed to live up to its classical liberalism roots when it comes to "the war on drugs." Most liberals are surprised when I say I support the legalization of marijuana. It should be a surprise if a conservative supports keeping it illegal.
Don't let liberals define conservatism as preserving the status quo and unreasonable precedents. We mean to conserve liberty.
