I learned some more about my parent's generation while watching "Prohibition"- a film by Ken Burns on PBS. A few more pieces to add to the jigsaw. I can see why they tightened the reins, so to speak. Maybe this is a factor between generations- sort of a see-saw- regarding behavior, expectations, mores- but I think it also exisits between classes and other distinctions within society.
What do you think? Also- what about legalizing marijuana and other soft recreational drugs and taxing them? Might be at least one boost to the ecomony/ revenue. If someone wants to over-do anything, they will, so are we repeating the mistakes of Prohibition? Why do you think people have emotional "blind spots"? Trauma or ignorance...or both?
