LESSON UNLEARNED

The letter writer, supporting Bill Maxwell's position on "Jim Crow,"
tells us not to forget past mistakes lest we repeat them. This long
has been a well known axiom. But there are currently two wars that our
"leaders" have started and continue: The decadeslong "war on drugs"
and the "Iraq disaster" regrettably prove the point. Can anyone say
"Prohibition" or "Vietnam"?
