Extra, Extra: US Government kills 10,000 Americans!

Dang, I never knew about this.  During prohibition, the government required industrial alcohol manufacturers to add very toxic poison to the alcohols, knowing full-well that people get their alcohol from stolen industrial alcohol.  Ended up killing around 10,000 americans.  I wonder how many went blind.
