Why do you think the rum-running business in Rhode Island has gotten so widespread and out of hand at this point?
I think it's because people ALL OVER want alcohol, not just people from one place... So maybe to get alcohol to THEIR cities, they have to help out in other places to get their fair share of all of it...
I agree. I think that it's because people all over are wanting more alcohol so they keep on shipping it in and then wanting more and more and more people are realizing so they want alcohol so it's just one big mess of shipping it all in!

ReplyDeleteSo let's not think exclusively of Rhode Island. In general, this business has become pervasive all over. Why?

ReplyDeleteIs it just the desire for alcohol? I tend to think that there is more than this to it.
ReplyDeleteI think that it is because people all over want alcohol, and the people who are poor want the money.
ReplyDeleteI think that people want their alcohol and that they are so desperate to get it they will pay any price for it.
ReplyDeleteI think it is because so many people are involved in rum-running and a lot of people desire and pay for alcohol.
