watching prohibition<\/a>, <\/em>and the bit about temperance leader carrie nation is bonkers. some background from wikipedia<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Nation gathered several rocks \u2013 “smashers”, she called them \u2013 and proceeded to Dobson’s Saloon on June 7. Announcing “Men, I have come to save you from a drunkard’s fate,” she began to destroy the saloon’s stock with her cache of rocks. … Alone or accompanied by hymn-singing women she would march into a bar, and sing and pray while smashing bar fixtures and stock with a hatchet. Her actions often did not include other people, just herself. Between 1900 and 1910 she was arrested some 30 times for “hatchetations,” as she came to call them.<\/p>\n

some quotes from prohibition:<\/em><\/p>\n

After she was jailed for destroying a saloon:<\/em>
\n“You put me in here a cub, but I will go out a roaring lion, and I will make all hell howl.”<\/p>\n

To the ladies of the Topeka WTCU who distanced themselves from her methods:<\/em>
\n“I tell you ladies, you don’t know how much joy you will have, until you begin to smash, smash, smash.”<\/p>\n

To the governor of Kansas, who implored her to stop:<\/em>
\n“She told him if he didn’t enforce the law, she had no choice. ‘You are a woman,’ he said, ‘and a woman must know a woman’s place.’ She walked out of his office and called for a hatchetation.”<\/p>\n
