You got it. Ever watch The Untouchables with Kevin Costner, Sean Connery, and Robert De Niro?
It's so OBVIOUS in the film (as in life) that Prohibition was doing nothing but creating violence, corruption, and death, yet the enforcement of same was thought of by the not-very-smart Good Guys as something almost holy. THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE DOING GOOD, but of course they were only participants in the festival of violence that -- what a surprise -- had been created BY Prohibition and which ENDED immediately when Prohibition was repealed.
