Prohibition, like so many other policies imposed from the moral high ground, typically by those who do not drink, disproportionately affects the poor who resort to illegally brewed alcohol when they want a drink, not infrequently leading to their death, and are more likely to be harassed by the police.

America has lost the moral high ground with the rest of the world, and we have fewer allies as a result. President Bush and his administration have undermined the war on terror by using tactics outlawed by international treaty and condemned by even our closest friends.

After Hurricane Sandy, my family and I stayed in our apartment in lower Manhattan before things normalized.

Since there was no light, water, or electricity, I spent a lot of time playing acoustic guitar in the evenings.
