Temperance

     Why should we as Americans have to live within the presence of drunks.  A little sobriety would do this town good! Some men you can’t get within tem feet of, because your eyes will water from the stench of too much whisky. Of course when someone is hobbling around drunk, no one really wants to come closer than that anyway.  There are men in this town that get drunk and beat their kids and wives. Yeah they aren’t the men of the house, but women and children don’t deserve that kind of treatment.  Alcohol can cause a man to scream and yell threats then fall to sleep and not remember a single thing the next morning.  (Chapter 30 iPhone pg 853)
