Last night a new episode of “Who Do You Think You Are?” was on NBC. It featured the ancestors of actress Helen Hunt. At first the actress was disturbed that her great-great-grandmother lead the fight for prohibition in Maine. Once she was enlightened about the issue, her opinion changed. During that time frame, there were more alcoholics per ca pita that at any other time in our nations history, even among children. According to the program, the people who bore the brunt of widespread alcoholism were women who were physically and sexually abused. So, until I look into the issue further, I will withhold my judgment.
