Harry Potter’s Morning Light
Chapter 479: Sober and intoxicated
Chapter 479 Sober and intoxicated
When the international secrecy law was first implemented, the first minister of magic, Yurik Gump, faced a manic, frightened, and dissatisfied magic society. For this reason, he set up the Ministry of Magic's Legal Enforcement Department and authorized the Broken Cauldron Bar to continue. Open.
Alcoholism is a bad problem, but in difficult times, people want to vent their emotions. Before the Prohibition era in the United States, gangs mainly engaged in some violent crimes such as robbery, fraud, theft, kidnapping, and extortion. Not only are they dangerous but also the income is unstable. The only safer one is It is gambling, but it does not benefit much, because gambling is known to be a bad problem.
Small wine selling is not only profitable, but also loved by the people. The key is that many politicians also like it. So during the 14-year Prohibition period, the birth of the American Mafia was born.
The original intention of Prohibition is to reduce crime. Men drink alcohol and spend money and waste time. Being drunk can also cause many domestic violence problems. In the eyes of housewives, alcohol is of course the root of all evil. In addition, due to the Puritan background, the United States has become one of the countries with the strongest prohibition of alcohol in the West. The Nordic countries, which are also in the alpine region, also prohibit alcohol, unlike Russia, which uses vodka as water.
However, in the actual implementation process, the crime rate has soared. Prohibition cannot eliminate people's desire to drink. While the formal market is banned, underground bars have rapidly become popular. At this time, the mainstream culture of society is to popularize sober coffee. Pavilion.
Often when people are drinking coffee leisurely, the "Chicago typewriter" will sound like a "da da da da" in a cafe. Gang members hide their submachine guns in the violin case. They mix with real musicians and let It is difficult for the police to tell.
Alcohol, which is the "source of joy" for the underground bar guests, is the "source of pain" for the guests in the ground cafes. In the past, gang fires did not involve both parties finding a large group of people to fight in groups. The rapid-fire weapon is specially designed to deal with cluster targets. After a shuttle bullet is swept past, the blood will flow into a river, which is very deterrent.
It is also useful for assassinations. Prohibition makes many gangs rich. Killing the opponent’s leader will make the opponent confused for a period of time. Many gangster movies have similar plots. The killer is holding a "violin" and acting like a musician. Walked into cafes and restaurants just as swaggering, and then fired in full view.
The noble-motivated Prohibition has turned into a crisis that has spread across the United States. Prohibition has promoted smuggling and smuggling. Women who once advocated prohibition will also make private wine to entertain "guests" in order to supplement their families. More seriously, industrial alcohol is mixed into it. Many people become blind due to poisoning.
For those desperadoes, they will not save money at all. After today, they may not have tomorrow. If they have money, they will have fun in time. After the Civil War, black and white Americans lived, lived, and worked very differently, but in the underground bar, the bosses didn’t matter whether they were black or white. They only knew one kind of person—the guest, so blacks and whites could only drink together in the underground bar. .
If you drink too much, you will get more, and if you drink too much, you will become friends regardless of whether you are black or white by your side. Jazz music belongs to black music. At that time, many white people didn't bother to listen to it. In cafes, Mozart and Chopin played violin and piano, and jazz was popular in underground bars.
Unsafe streets and the economic downturn have increased the number of people drinking alcohol. Gang crimes and official corruption have spawned violent crimes. People who originally advocated prohibition began to think about lifting prohibition. With the advent of the "Great Depression" in 1929, the presidential election Whether to lift the "Prohibition" became the focus. Roosevelt supported the lifting of the prohibition. He was more responsive to public opinion, and he was eventually elected.
If some legal provisions do not exist in the implementation process, then it is a dead letter, such as those in the Prohibition Period.
The use of marijuana is generally not new in the Western world. High school students can get it. The ban on marijuana in the legal provisions is just a piece of waste paper. So politicians simply called for a ban on marijuana and alcohol in order to please voters. Let the same abolished.
The same is true of the international secrecy law. Wizards forbid marrying Muggles. However, many people opposed it during the implementation process, so the ban was lifted.
There is no law that wizards cannot intervene in Muggle wars, and it is legal for Henry Potter to call on wizards to participate in World War I.
The wizard did not say that he could not intervene in the gang fire. The gang is illegal. However, the Muggle law does not protect the wizarding law. Ma Youyan, a wizard who is on the verge of not being protected by the law, has legal rights and interests regardless of whether he does something legal or illegal Without protection, he trafficked politicians to call for legal marijuana to comply with public opinion, and the neighbors liked him.
The Western world is not only "freedom" and "democracy", there are also various subcultures. Many Chinese students and their parents have spent a lot of money to send them to study abroad. They have not learned anything. Instead, they have brought back a drug addiction. Often out of curiosity, or an eager desire to integrate into the local community, gradually entering the cannabis circle, these groups of international students are spreading the "marijuana culture" into China.
Smoking is to make friends or improve interpersonal relationships, and the social culture of young people in the Western world is to turn cigarettes into marijuana. Quitting smoking is so difficult. Not to mention quitting drugs. After playing marijuana, they start to eat poisonous mushrooms. After a party, they can stand normally. Less than 30% of people.
Chinese international students often have problems with drug problems than local young people. The main reason is that their family members are not around. The unfamiliar environment and culture make them feel lonely, and their economic conditions are better than local children of the same age, and their self-control is not enough. In the end, Just embarked on the "road of no return", which further affected studies.
Evil is formed without thinking. Socrates said that there are two kinds of people in this world, one is a happy pig and the other is a painful person. The pig will be slaughtered sooner or later. Dumbledore asks Harry to be in Hogg. Woz had a very happy campus life, but he really learned very little, especially about the law. He was happily raised like a pig to be slaughtered, but he did not have Hogwar. After he died in the war, a person who didn't understand wizard law at all suddenly became the Director of the Law Enforcement Department. It was inevitable that he would be emptied.
Werewolves are marginal people in the wizarding society. Lupin has been trying to integrate, but is always rejected. He has excellent grades but cannot find a job. As for the other werewolves, the situation is even worse.
Fenrir Greyback promises a bright future for those who have nothing. They must bite as much as possible, infect more people, create more werewolves to conquer wizards, change from a minority to a majority, and bite the children of wizards so that they can grow up far away from their parents. Growing up with hatred of normal wizards.
Blood is what the werewolf deserves, and the werewolf should retaliate against normal people.
The Ministry of Magic also has an Auror who was bitten by a werewolf and turned into a werewolf. These agents sent intelligence that Chinatown was a high-risk area for the werewolf attack. Scotland Yard warned residents of Chinatown not to organize any activities during the Lantern Festival and stay at home. However, due to the renovation plan of the Roseville Real Estate Company, the merchants believed that this was a collusion between the government and businessmen and refused to cooperate.
New Year’s Eve is the first day of the first lunar month. The moon phase on that day is the new moon, and the moon cannot be seen. The Lantern Festival happens to be the fifteenth of the first lunar month. Shopping in Chinatown often carries a lot of cash. Werewolves can take away people with their wallets.
I don’t know when it started, and the phrase "customer is God" became popular. Many people believe this.
There used to be a legend in Chinatown. Outside of Chinatown, there was a customer who was picky about the waiter’s service attitude. The waiter ignored him, and that person went to the store manager to complain.
The shop manager drove him out directly, and gave the guest a word before he left.
"If your mother dies, can you bring her back to life? If not, you are not God, and you are not welcome here."
If you push people in a hurry, you will do crazy things, because you will have to pay too much in the first world war. The victorious nations in the Lausanne Conference collectively asked the Germans to repay the money and solve their own domestic economic crisis. The Germans were pressed into urgency and supported the ** to come to power , Robbed Jews for the military expenses of the Third Reich.
The lessons learned from the victory of the Second World War, the indemnity of World War II was not so much. After the founding of New China, all the war indemnities owed by the Manchus were not recognized. In the case of domestic famine, the Chinese also studied the atomic bomb. Yes, sometimes the Orientals are so cruel, and then force them to "pay back" God knows what they did.
Germans are still in the Western cultural circle. If they want to continue mixing in the West, they must abide by the rules of the game. Germany is still losing money.
Perhaps it is because they have not experienced the pain of "repaying money". Some Orientals have not been as pragmatic and reflective as the Germans. After World War II, Germany has risen again and has become a world-class country. Although Germany has also lifted the "Narcotics" "The ban, the whole country began to grow marijuana, but their image to the world is still serious.
There is a huge difference between the Western world and the East. It is neither heaven nor hell, but just a place where a group of people live.
There is also a kind of carnival. When Germany knew that it was destined to be defeated, people began to drink and dance. When the Black Death broke out, some people prayed to the Lord, and some continued to indulge and drink and revel. Everyone has a different way of treating the last days. On the Titanic, there are passengers desperate to survive, running meaninglessly like a frightened mouse, and there are also old gentlemen wearing gorgeous evening dresses like attending a party.
Those seawater that pours into the cabin will not be bought by paper money and gold bricks. In fact, it is easy to deal with the superstitious "customer is God": dare to ask this gentleman (madam), can you prevent tsunamis, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions ? If you can't, you are a mortal, please be humble to the world.
If he says that he can do it, the responsibility of preventing the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano in the United States will be left to him. If he can be enshrined for generations like Buddha and Jesus, people all over the world will have no objection.
Nietzsche once said that to fill the stomach is the reason why people can’t think of themselves as God so easily.
After reading the report on the desk, Pomona looked at Severus smoking by the window with infinite sympathy. He was not really crazy, but he was under too much pressure. He ran into a group of people who couldn’t communicate. After holding back the fire, he said crazy things about destroying the world last night after being drunk.
The management department of Chinatown replied that Chinatown refused to allow white police to enter, and the local people are responsible for protecting the safety of the people in the city.
"Otherwise you go to the Chinese Embassy to try?"
"Don't talk to me." Severus said grimly.
"Are you still not awake with a hangover? Would you like a cup of sober tea?"
He still ignored her.
"They rejected the white police and did not say they rejected the Chinese, otherwise you would find a Chinese police officer to communicate with them."
"Oh, this is such a smart idea." Severus said with a smirk.
"Is this a bad idea?"
"What do you think?" He said softly and slickly.
"I hate werewolves." She said in pain.
"There are many people like you." Severus looked at Kensington Palace outside the window. "I will not poison me with medicine. Lupin looks down on me too much."
"He just suffered too much harm and discrimination, so he was so vigilant."
"Let me stay alone for a while." He said in a deep voice, "My head hurts and I don't want to listen to people."
