We are talking about very intelligent men who knew a whole lot. But they did not know ....
.......THE FUTURE.........

Do ya remember (reading about) prohibition?

Nixon hated blacks... he hated hippies...which is why we've been tortured with drug laws since the 1970's. Until this country faces up to it's systemic racism we'll never get anywhere.
