I THINK THEY SHOULD FIND A WAY TO LET HIM CONTINUE TO MAKE MOONSHINE. I WOULD BE WILLING TO BET THAT 3/4 OF THE POLITICIANS,JUDGES, POLICE FORCE,AND OTHER GOV OFFICIALS IN THE AREA HAVE BEEN IN POSESSION OF A JAR OF SHINE AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER IN THERE LIVES. HOW MANY TIMES HAS A JAR OF SHINE BEEN REQUESTED FROM PROMINENT PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY. WHERE ELSE ARE THEY GOING TO GET IT. ITHINK IT IS PART OF OUR HERITAGE. LET HIM GO DO WHAT HE DOES BEST.
