A new Ken Burns documentary begins tonight on PBS, the story of the 18th Amendment which gave us Prohibition.
Sounds like something worth watching. Although, it's on at the same time as the Cardinals playoff game. I hope to watch most of the program the next few nights, however. My grandfather played drums for a band in the 1920's and he was often in the speakeasies. My dad told stories of being taken as a child to places where you had to give a password to get in.

Prohibition-A good example of why certain illegal drugs should be legalized, subject to major changes in laws concerning driving a vehicle.
