Don't expect public outrage from this public. Your question is especially interesting in light of the old saying: "The more things change, the more they remain the same." So, you'd think that if an event had happened in the past, something like it might be happening now. I recently came across reference to a book that allegedly shows how some very wealthy and influential families supported alcohol prohibition in order to creat the lucretive black market. I intend to try to obtain this book, and have a look. If I am successful, I'll post what I find out. "Francis X. Hennessy in his book about the 18th Amendment entitled CITIZENS OR SUBJECT E.P. Dutton, New York (1923) (Leading families set up prohibition so they could benefit from the ensuing black market)" --quoted from Invisible Contracts by George Mercier Many people would probably rather not believe their leaders are capable of taking such cynical advantage of them. But the record in other areas shows they are! -Tsun ----- Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam. Em Hotep, Peace Be, Omnia Bona Bonis, All My Relations. Adieu, Adios, Aloha. Amen.
