- Abstract
- en_US Here is a historical curiosity. Aesop and Prohibition! This is a selection of passages dealing with Prohibition. After many of them there is a This fable teaches section in italics. The book is so filled with irony that I am unable to be sure whether it is pro- or anti-Prohibition! My hunch on this reading is that it is pro-Prohibition. One surprise is to see G.K. Chesterton quoted so frequently here. I take it the real demon here is individual liberty. To drink is to take the law into one's own hands. It is to select one portion of the Constitution for disregard.
