Police hit a moonshine jackpot behind Douglas Bethune's single wide trailer outside of Benson, North Carolina (pop. 2810) last October -- finding and destroying 6,400 gallons of white lightnin' with a street value of $16,000.

Is it just me, or does this quote simply reaffirm your stereotypes of the Deep South?

Though the cost of moonshine is not that much cheaper than legitimate booze, drinking "white lightnin' " is part of Southern culture that has refused to die despite increased public awareness about its dangers

Over.  End of Story.  Go home now.
