Hi Penzance My friend who was born and raised in Keegan - the part of Van Buren just north told me her sister was diagnosed with some kind of mental illness and 'they' had forced her to be sterilized...I didn't believe my friend at the time...later she told me that she once had a baby but the sisters took it away as soon as it had been born and told her it had died...then the doctor gave her a hysterectomy
Didn't realize it 'till now, but she told me she was part Native American. It turns out there is a whole lot more to the story, and it apparently really is a story - written by fates, norns and maybe everyone whoever exists
Your thinking I've been abusing clove oil again

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prohibition :
'Prohibition was a major reform movement from the 1840s into the 1920s, and was sponsored by evangelical Protestant churches, especially the Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians, Disciples and Congregationalists. Kansas and Maine were early adopters. The Women's Christian Temperance Union, founded in 1874, and theProhibition Party were major players until the early 20th century, when the movement was taken over by the Anti-Saloon League. By using pressure politics on legislators, the Anti-Saloon League achieved the goal of nationwide prohibition during World War I, emphasizing the need to destroy the political corruption of the saloons, the political power of the German-based brewing industry, and the need to reduce domestic violence in the home'.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Saloon_League :
'The League used pressure politics in legislative politics, which it is credited with developing.[9]When it came to fighting wet candidates, especially as Al Smith in the presidential election of 1928, the League was less effective because its audience was already Republican. Unable to cope with the failures of prohibition, especially bootlegging and organized crime as well as reduced government revenue, the League failed to counter the repeal forces, led by prominent Democrats, which helped Franklin D. Roosevelt win in 1932. A new Constitutional amendment passed easily in 1933 to repeal the 18th amendment, and the League lost its power.'
