I saw a viral video about a guy who said his town in New Jersey did not enforce prohibition law at all back in the 1900s, with the consequence that he, as a minor, could go in to a bar and get a drink. Interesting thought to consider in the face of unjust legislation today, that there were places in the past that just didn't enforce certain laws thought to be unjust.
What kind of other questions might we ask of elders, to understand some of the past that might help us make good decisions going forward?

Comparable to my parents. 1-Stick with tradition because its proven over generations. 2-When mom learned about spaghetti dad loved it so much he wanted it for Sunday dinners. McDonalds was a derogatory word. 3-Do for family and ignore that 'americans' tell you. Mom was told she doesnt know american law, that the man works and moms stay home. Mom said I do know american law that if we work hard we can achieve much. Parents put 2 kids thru college without loans, bought a beautiful home while those 'americans' lived and died on welfare, never owned a home or car and kids got into drugs. 4-I was in hospital for Legionnaires IV abx for 2 weeks. Mom came to hospital with her 'cure' and the next day improved, discharged on 2nd day. 5-My parents survived Stalin and holodomyr, Hitler, slave labor and concentration camps. Taught me a lot about survival. Also taught me to never, every listen to or believe what ANY communist (socialist) says.
This is really nice.
