<>_<>Winston Churchill Vs. whisky<>_<>
Winston Churchill was once asked about his position on whisky. This
was his reply:
was his reply:
"If you mean whisky, the devil's brew, the poison scourge, the bloody
monster that defiles innocence, dethrones reason, destroys the home, creates
misery and poverty, yes, literally takes the bread from the mouths of little
children; if you mean that evil drink that topples men and women from the
pinnacles of righteous and gracious living into the bottomless pit of
degradation, shame, despair, helplessness, and hopelessness, then, my
friend, I am opposed to it with every fibre of my being.
"However, if by whisky you mean the oil of conversation, the philosophic
wine, the elixir of life, the ale that is consumed when good fellows get
together, that puts a song in their hearts and the warm glow of contentment
in their eyes; if you mean good cheer, the stimulating sip that puts a
little spring in the step of an elderly gentleman on a frosty morning; if
you mean that drink that enables man to magnify his joy, and to forget
life's great tragedies and heartbreaks and sorrow; if you mean that drink
the sale of which pours into our treasuries untold millions of dollars each
year, that provides tender care for our little crippled children, our blind,
our deaf, our dumb , our pitifully aged and infirm, to build the finest
highways, hospitals, universities, and community colleges in this nation,
then my friend, I am absolutely, unequivocally in favor of it.
