The most interesting thing about that article is that women through the prohibition movement gave rise to NASCAR! LOL. If that’s true then I thank them at least for that.

Well, yeah, because of Prohibition, rumrunners and bootleggers came into existence. Good ol’ boys would oufit their cars to make them as quick as possible to beat the police. They were the forerunners of todays NASCAR.

The illegal production of alcohol proceeded prohibition and went on long after it's appeal. Yes Prohibition increased it greatly. It still goes on today in certain pockets around the South. There were always people around who wanted to beat the alcohol taxes and get around the law.

I've actually never tasted illegal alcohol. I've never had moonshine, white-lighning, or home brew. Friends of mine who have had the stuff claim it's garbage. It's sole purpose it to get you drunk. It's not exactly Chivas Regal or a good micro-brew.

Watched a good documentary on Nascar and the running of shine...It is true that that was the start of Nascar. The drivers of shine got together to see who was the best driver in their cars, and that race and track were the starting of doing it every year.. Then it was named Nascar....really interesting...The shine drivers could go from pick up to delivery and knew the back roads so well, they sometimes had to do it in the dark without lights to avoid getting caught...Took guts..

Hate to say it because I am a woman, with the exception of most of the women on Free Republic, and the females in my family lots of females are stupid...:O)
