People will do what you let them do....

During the “cold war” children were taught how to react if we were attacked by nukes. Hide under your desk until it was over. Adults built bomb shelters and an entire business was created from them. The local library used their cellars as bomb shelters and you could tell if there was one by the toxic symbol on the outside of the building next to the word shelter. The symbol was a constant reminder that there was something to worry about and therefore fear it. My point is look at how far we will go once we “believe” something. Even if it is all just soda water. There are places in Pennsylvania that will tell you that they cannot serve you a rare steak. They tell you that it is against state law to serve you anything but medium. However, across the street is an internationally famous steak house that will give you a cold red center. Now I ask you, could they do that if it were state law not to? Of course not. This may be minor but it illustrates how everyone tries to sell you soda water with a different label. Don’t buy it. Not for a moment. Wake up and smell the coffee. Just like when you’re told that a scratchy throat means you’re coming down with something so you better “worry” about that. Placebo drugs are the same but they work because of the belief system. How about those times when you believed you were not man or woman enough because of the TV models and what they were “selling”? More soda water. Do your own research about stuff and don’t be afraid to ask the hard questions. Make people give you answers and facts to back up what they are trying to sell you. Do not take it at face value. And in the mean time learn for yourself what the “soda water” really tastes like and looks like, so that you can tell when it is just a different label.
