| SOMETHING TO CONSIDER
Prohibition Causes Terrible Things!
"If people let government decidewhich foods they eat and medicines they
take, their bodies willsoon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of
those who live under tyranny."
-- Thomas Jefferson
"Unless we put medical freedom into the Constitution, the time will
come when medicine will organize into an undercover dictatorship. To
restrict the art of healing to one class of men and deny equal
privileges to others will constitute the Bastille of medical science.
All such laws are un-American and despotic and have no place in a
republic. The Constitution of this republic should make special
privilege for medical freedom as well as religious freedom."
--- Benjamin Rush, George Washington's personal doctor and a
signer of the Declaration of Independence
"Prohibition was introduced as a fraud; it has been nursed as a fraud.
It is wrapped in the livery of Heaven, but it comes to serve the devil.
It comes to regulate by law our appetites and our daily lives. It comes
to tear down liberty and build up fanaticism, hypocrisy, and
intolerance. It comes to confiscate by legislative decree the property
of many of our fellow citizens. It comes to send spies, detectives, and
informers into our homes; to have us arrested and carried before courts
and condemned to fines and imprisonments. It comes to dissipate the
sunlight of happiness, peace, and prosperity in which we are now living
and to fill our land with alienations, estrangements, and bitterness.
It comes to bring us evil - only evil - and that continually. Let us
rise in our might as one and overwhelm it with such indignation that we
shall never hear of it again as long as grass grows and water runs."
-- Roger Q. Mills of Texas, 1887, quoted repeatedly during a
December 1914 debate in Congress over Prohibition
