Students rioting against the law that forbids them to drink alcohol?
Prohibition engendering violence? What a surprise. I suppose it would be
too much to ask legislators to look back at the violence that was
engendered by the Fifteen Gallon Law in Massachusetts in the late 1830s, or
by the Maine Law and by Sunday Closing Laws in the 1850s, not to mention
national Prohibition. It rather brings to mind Hegel's maxim, that the only
thing we learn from history is that we do not learn from history.
