Did You Know??

That this man; Al Capone Accomplished Much More Because He Attempted to do More to Make “AMERICA”, Whatever, Wherever that is; GREAT than anyone/anything else thing in World History. Nationwide Prohibition did not begin in the United States until January 1920, when the Eighteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution went into effect. The 18th amendment was ratified in 1919 and was repealed in December 1933, with the ratification of the Twenty-first Amendment. 

Despite all the MYTH and SLANDER; the ONLY thing he was ever convicted of was tax evasion. Arguably, Alcohol is the VERY BASIS OF ABOUT THREE-QUARTERS OF THE US ECONOMY. Prohibition ended with the ratification of the Twenty-first Amendment, which repealed the Eighteenth Amendment on December 5, 1933.

 “It is not always the same thing to be a good man and a good citizen.”

― Aristotle, Selected Writings from The Nicomachean Ethics and Politics.

Purported, Tomas Jefferson Quote= "If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so." If the injustice is part of the necessary friction of the machine of government, let it go, let it go: perchance it will wear smooth--certainly, the machine will wear out… but if it is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then I say, break the law. Let your life be a counter-friction to stop the machine. What I have to do is to see, at any rate, that I do not lend myself to the wrong which I condemn.”

― Henry David Thoreau, Civil Disobedience and Other Essays

This quotation has not been found in Thomas Jefferson's papers.  It has been suggested that it is a paraphrase of Jefferson's statement in the Declaration of Independence, "...whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government...," “An individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is, in reality, expressing the highest respect for the law”

― Martin Luther King Jr.
