A Congressman was once asked
about his attitude toward whiskey. „If
you mean the demon drink
that poisons the mind, pollutes the body,
desecrates family life, and
inflames sinners, then I’m against it.
But if you mean the
elixir of Christmas cheer, the shield against
winter chill, the taxable
potion that puts needed funds into public coffers
to comfort little
crippled children, then I’m for it. This is my
position, and I
will not compromise.“
