The Detroit Project - by Americans for Fuel Efficient Cars Its about time somebody took a shot at those ridiculous Natl Drug Cntrl Policy ads that don't amount to much more than propaganda. The claims that they make are not so much false as they are applicable to many other addictions in american society. The hypocrisy is in the differential approaches to issues that are based on similer problems. A study, one in about a 100 or so, says that frequent consumption of alcohol may reduce the risk of heart disease. The researcher admitted that he himself does not drink as much as the study says would be beneficial. He also says that if alcohol were a drug that was under the scrutiny of the FDA that it would not be released to the public. That's even as a prescription drug. Not released because of its often fatal side affects. Interesting. To say the least, eh? Yet we have ads that run on the prime times of television every night that extols the consumption of alcohol. I drink alcohol. I like it. But I know what it can do to me if I let it take control of my life. I know what it can do to me if I act while drunk. I was joking, in a sorta serious way, that its hard to give away wine anymore for christmas anymore because of the likelyhood of a recovering alcoholic in the family. I won't smoke, even though it would be nice to have something to do with my hands during uncomfomfortable moments. I won't smoke simply because I don't want to become addicted. I know how addictive cigarettes are. I have seen my father fight the addiction. I have seen uncles die of lung cancer still clutching a cigarette in their hands (not literally mind you, he smoked up until he died). That's powerful. I dare not release that demon upon myself. Earlier generations, those of my deceased uncles, didn't have the truth. They couldn't make informed decisions about their lives. They were lied too. People die when people lie to make money. Its a correlation thats not too hard to prove. Rarely do the liars get punished. More often then not they hide behind their wealth and power till they pass away, leaving the ill-gotten wealth to the next generation. It makes you wonder what mistakes we are making now. We urge caution in all matters. bruceblog@peoplepc.com | |
