A Continuous loop of Mistakes.
Overtime America said that would learn from their mistakes but, in reality, they still continue to repeat the past due to greediness. People broke the law to get alcohol when there was Prohibition during the Roaring Twenties. The government couldn't control illegal sales and they couldn't force manufacturers to produce alcohol that was safer. Repealing the ban allowed the government to regulate quality and to tax alcohol due to its popularity. In 2013 marijuana was illegal. Just like alcohol, people broke the law to get marijuana. This resulted in the government once again not being able to control illegal sales. Now, Colorado has legalized it so that the government can regulate quality and tax it. During the time of the Great Depression, improper farming harmed the land and made the drought worse. People had to learn better ways to grow crops. But now genetically modified foods may harm the health of people and that is why people are buying organic foods. Current water use may also cause a new drought. In World War II people thought that it was going to be the war to end all wars. But America still got into many wars after that. America seemed to involved in other countries' business when it was not their fight.
