And people still think the government wouldn't hurt their own people?!

My grandfather used to run the moonshine that his best friend made. And they were from the area where nascar started.

I think if they tried this today, the same thing would happen - whether they're in the right, wrong, or indifferent, moonshine and bootleggers would come to the fore.

Check out "Minnesota 13" - Both book and movie. Yes Capone is in it.A few other stories that are not in the book. Its about Feds chasing relatives back to MN from Chitown and how that upside down reversable key came to be because they chased a fumbling key n driver back into the shiner Chevy. One always had to know which side was up on the key. He figures the Feds knew the county of registration via plates and his fumbling... People of the county office called when the news arrived of the Feds and then the car was burnt in a local neighboring town and the driver hopped a train and then left the state. He eventually sold the key idea to the Ford motor company. The County Historical Society has plenty of information of the shiner days.
