“The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd.” — Bertrand Russell
The fact that something has been done one way for the longest time does not mean it is the right or only way.
Reading about Portugal’s handling of addicts is a sure indicator that change, and breaks from the way we’ve always done things can be a VERY good thing!
In this fairly absurd world we live in we MUST have more of this revolutionary thinking.
The revolution needs to start within each of us. Instead of saying “That’s just how we do things”, why don’t we ask “Why do we do it like this again ?”
Let’s be more like little kids and ask “WHY” more often, and stop accepting “BECAUSE I SAID SO!”
Remember what Bruce Hornsby told us?? That’s just the way it is, don’t believe it!
