USING YOUR COMMON SENSE

I'm writing about "DARE to say no" (editorial, May 4, 2007 Inuvik
Drum)

Common sense tells us that the DARE program should deter our youth
from using illegal drugs but it doesn't.

Common sense tells us that the Earth is the center of the universe and
our solar system. But it's not.

Common sense tells us that prohibiting a product should substantially
reduce the use of the product that's prohibited. Actually, prohibition
tends to substantially increase the desire for the product that's prohibited.

People want what they are told they cannot have - especially
children.

The lure of the "forbidden fruit" is very powerful.
