[PW] Prohibition....

[sfinemel at ca.rr.com]

 Prohibition....when 
alcohol went to illegal and then back to legal.....what happened to the 
bootleggers who were in jail?  Were they set free since the law 
changed? 
Any suggestions?

"Manners are of more importance 
than laws. Manners are what vex 
or soothe, 
corrupt or purify, exalt or 
debase, barbarize or refine us, 
by a constant, 
steady, uniform, insensible 
operation, like that of the air 
we breathe in." 
Edmund Burke (1729-1797)
