On this day 75 years ago the forces of reason defeated a small part of the forces of religious stupidity and party pooperness and Ratified the 21st amendment to the Constitution of the United States of American repealing the idiotic 18th Amendment / Volstead act.
In your face Women’s Christian Temperance Union!!
75 years ago today one of the most moronic and unsuccessful attempts by the “Holier than thou” crowd was repealed. Celebrate today with a beer, a glass of wine, a whiskey or any adult beverage of your preference.
