Lots of people say the same questions are being asked now that were asked 50+ years ago, so nothing is going to change. Yet with big endorsements, including the New York Times, and states acting against federal legislation, it seems plausible that this push against prohibition might be different. Do you think this time around will be any different? If so, why?
Also, I understand your reasons for pushing against prohibition, and agree with all of them. My other question is about the choice of timing. What made now feel like the right time for a group as well-established and respected as the New York Times Editorial Board to speak out against prohibition?
