For what ever reason he was run out of KY and bought up a lot of land in Southern Ohio where he set up his still, opened a little country store that hosted gambling on weekends and furnished the local politicians with free moonshine for buying votes. My bet is that popcorn probably ticked some politician off and it brought the ATF down on him for it.<BR/><BR/>Tahnks for sharing....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12204654300524316224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5533056.post-39367409060950745142008-03-20T00:11:00.000-04:002008-03-20T00:11:00.000-04:00Speaking of taxes, is it not strange that hard liq...Speaking of taxes, is it not strange that hard liquor is taxed at 13.50 a gallon and beer just 35 cents?

I'll betcha the government would set up "joint" joints and meth halls if pot and meth were taxable, and they could collect the revenue from it. This makes me mad. If folks don't get it from him, they'll get it - or its watered-down equivilent at the local bar or from the corner "likker" store.<BR/>That's how most of our ancestors in these mountains raised our great grandparents during the depression. It's hard for an old man to stop a tradition.<BR/>By the way, I don't drink, but I'm just saying...<BR/><BR/>Hugs<BR/>LeeunaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5533056.post-9989816721447148152008-03-17T19:46:00.000-04:002008-03-17T19:46:00.000-04:00Breeds other crime, blah blah blah, and where have...Breeds other crime, blah blah blah, and where have we all heard <I>that</I> before?<BR/><BR/>What a character!
