Local Option, Or Prohibition, With Confiscation And Ruination; The Hypocrisy Exposed; The People's Obligation (1915) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781166562137)

Local Option, Or Prohibition, With Confiscation And Ruination; The Hypocrisy Exposed; The People�������s Obligation is a book written by D. Clarence Gibboney in 1915. The book is a critique of the local option movement, which aimed to give local communities the power to decide whether or not to allow the sale of alcohol within their jurisdiction. Gibboney argues that the local option movement is hypocritical, as it does not truly support the prohibition of alcohol but rather seeks to punish those who sell it. He also argues that the movement is misguided, as it does not address the root causes of alcoholism and instead focuses on punishing those who are addicted to alcohol. The book calls on the people to take responsibility for their own actions and to work towards a society that is free from the harmful effects of alcohol. Overall, Local Option, Or Prohibition, With Confiscation And Ruination; The Hypocrisy Exposed; The People�������s Obligation is a thought-provoking critique of the local option movement and a call to action for those who seek to create a better society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
