One case I can think of, the guy was in a backcountry campsite but rangers went to check on his campsite because he was walking along a road with a whiskey bottle wearing a bear costume. It may well have been Trump's Baby Hands.

I'd imagine it's a situation of too many idiots not to be. Went and saw Old Faithful with my parents when I was kid and a younger kid was under the rope reaching towards one of the rivulets that run along the ground. Some alert adult grabbed him back, but I guess those are all at some crazy temperature?

Wasn't it more like the firstborn son inherited the plantation, which was most of the parents' material wealth, and there was basically no other choice but military or business school for the second/third/etc?

There was a discussion about the long history of the useless FailSons of the wealthy getting bullshit jobs and just enough money to not embarrass themselves on chapo trap house a few months ago, a rich tradition that continues to this day.

Mormons have a prohibition on alcohol for the same reason that we passed prohibition as a country. Apparently everyone in the 19th/early 20th century was a raging alcoholic.

it is basically the height of black comedy to read letters passed between sheriffs in the actual wild west and the charges they handed down. public drunkenness charges tend to start off with "i realize a man's drinking is his own business, but--"

or Washington's general orders during the revolutionary war to reward the men for good performance in battle or on maneuvers amounts to a rum ration between 4-5 shots for a single night, and there's tons of soldier letters back home that basically read "the gently caress is this poo poo, how is this enough"

it really helped me understand why my parents and grandparents were generally so wary about drinking even a single beer; they'd seen god only knows how many family and friends completely flunk out on the whole moderation thing and go 8 drinks to the wind in an hour.

Each effort failed to achieve the universal abstinence that reformers sought. Again and again it was demonstrated that those who believed in abstinence could not succeed in imposing their own view of morality upon that portion of the population that did not share their vision. In 1838, when Massachusetts outlawed the retail sale of distilled spirits, Yankee ingenuity triumphed. An enterprising liquor dealer painted stripes on his pig and advertised that for 6˘ a person could see this decorated beast. The viewer also got a free glass of whiskey. Such ploys spurred a hurried repeal of the nation's first prohibition law.

This can't be overstated. Cops literally bombed basically the urban, black version of the Bundy clan, and none of them got in trouble for it.

AFAIK, the only other time aircraft flown by Americans deliberately dropped bombs on Americans was the 1921 Tulsa race riot... again cops bombing black Americans.

quote:

The following day, President Warren Harding threatened to send in federal troops and Army Martin MB-1 bombers. After a long meeting in the town of Madison, the seat of Boone County, agreements were made convincing the miners to return home. However, the struggle was far from over. After spending days to assemble his private army, Chafin was not going to be denied his battle to end union attempts at organizing Logan County coal mines. Within hours of the Madison decision, rumors abounded that Sheriff Chafin's men had shot union sympathizers in the town of Sharples, West Virginia, just north of Blair Mountain—and that families had been caught in crossfire during the skirmishes. Infuriated, the miners turned back towards Blair Mountain, many traveling in other stolen and commandeered trains.

By August 29, battle was fully joined. Chafin's men, though outnumbered, had the advantage of higher positions and better weaponry. Private planes were hired to drop homemade bombs on the miners. A combination of gas and explosive bombs left over from World War I were dropped in several locations near the towns of Jeffery, Sharples and Blair. At least one did not explode and was recovered by the miners; it was used months later to great effect during treason and murder trials following the battle. On orders from General Billy Mitchell, Army bombers from Maryland were also used for aerial surveillance. One Martin bomber crashed on its return flight, killing the three members of the crew
