This era is so filled with the consequences of moral legislation and greed (accompanied by legislation that allowed a concentration of wealth in the upper one percent) that you’d think we learn not to repeat it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243923798905252664.post-75919929414900569802012-07-25T18:11:09.117-07:002012-07-25T18:11:09.117-07:00Yay!

There were a couple of funny Churchill quotes (Prohibition is "an affront to the whole history of mankind.") and other international dynamics mentioned that I really appreciated. In many ways it brought to light how young our country is. Overall pretty fascinating.Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08151339860580266808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243923798905252664.post-49608580633311589502012-07-24T10:23:11.721-07:002012-07-24T10:23:11.721-07:00For some reason I didn't read much nonfiction ...For some reason I didn't read much nonfiction last year, so I've been hungry for it this year. Still, I'm always afraid it's going to be dry and it'll be a chore to push through, so it is nice to find one that surprises me. This one really illuminated the whole transition into the modern era in a way that I didn't know was possible. :) (and plus, thanks for the compliment - so kind!)Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08151339860580266808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243923798905252664.post-67636959732143006222012-07-24T08:25:18.710-07:002012-07-24T08:25:18.710-07:00Prohibition is so interesting!
