We should always look first at the facts and outcomes historically and currently. For example, what were the results of alcohol prohibition (1. black markets developed, 2.otherwise law abiding citizens became criminals, 3. people lost respect for the law, 4. gangs took over streets, 5. violence ensued, 6. Gun bans were enacted, 7. people continued to drink, 8. poor and inconsistent quality caused new problems, 9. strength / concentration increased, 10. Constitution ignored to prosecute new class of criminals, 11. etc.)Now let's be honest and ask ourselves, do we see any similarities with drug prohibition?In your example, try the different sauces on each protein source. Don't just put this on on that and that one on this because that's how it has always been done. In my example, we are putting the two or three different sauces on three different proteins because that is how it has always been done. What we fail to take into account, two of those sauces not only taste bad on everything, but they actually contain heavy metals that are slowly killing us. I want people to wake up and realize it is not the meat that tastes bad and is slowly killing us, it is the sauce we are putting on it!! The one good sauce, let's call it the "Logical Sauce", is good on ALMOST everything with minor recipe changes here and there. The other sauces on the other hand, they are bitter and will leave a bad taste in our mouth no matter what we put them on. And as if that is not bad enough, they are laced with heavy metals that are making us ill and slowly killing us ( drug war, national deficit, blind compliance with political parties, intellectual avoidance, nation building while ours is crumbling, etc.)BTW, I am the writer and I appreciate you taking the time to comment. I enjoy discussions that make people think (especially me) and this is a work in progress. I just threw this together last night while thinking about what it is that allows people to think logically on some issues but not on others. These were three examples I came up with where most people have personal experience with at least one of them and only media / social experience with at least one. We usually are objective about things we know, and believe whatever the majority tells us to believe on the other. That is a fault we have as humans but very few of us recognize it. If we ever begin to recognize this fact collectively, maybe we will become better at avoiding the inevitable results.</blockquote>
