Reshaping Minds In The Legal System

Before laws or statutes can ever be successfully changed there must first be a change in the attitude or thought process that created them. A cursory look at the reversal of some of histories toughest laws exemplifies this shift. Take for example alcohol prohibition in the earlier part of the 20th century. Prohibitionists who fought against the legalization of alcohol successfully lobbied their position on the grounds that alcohol was destroying lives (and they were partially right in that belief) and should thus be banned. The irony is that their actions were the fuel for a black market that created massive amounts of gang warfare and bloodshed. This severe and unexpected backlash brought about a change in attitude and the same individuals that fought for prohibition were the same ones who later fought for legalization. It is now this same type of shift in thought process that has brought statutory rape laws to the foreground of today's political scene.
