Very likely, but how? I think my own opinion was best expressed by John |
| 5 |
Galsworthy (or Soames Forsyte of the Forsyte Saga): "One of these days |
| 6 |
they’d try and bring in Prohibition, he shouldn’t wonder; but that cock |
| 7 |
wouldn’t fight in England — too extravagant! Treating people like |
| 8 |
children wasn’t the way to make them grow up; as if they weren’t |
| 9 |
childish enough as it was." |

I think that the mere existence of the CoC would slow down, to say the |
| 12 |
least, growing up. Prohibition laws are in the spirit of time, though, |
| 13 |
so when facing the dilemma of being decent vs. following the rules, the |
| 14 |
majority prefers the latter nowadays. |
