The Burden of Modern Taboos
Book I
Version 2
by Robert R. Arthur
Taboos are a burden on society.
By protecting irrational views they hinder progress towards greater happiness.
The government and the media use taboos to lie and mislead. It is not a conspiracy, but by pushing panic for votes and viewers they thwart Americans’ pursuit of happiness. Taboos are not relics of primitive societies.
FACTS YOU WON’T HEAR ON THE NEWS:
• There are gay animals and the “gay gene” has been discovered in insects.
• Shielding kids from visual exposure to sex is linked to their later sexual aggression. Porn is not.
• Celibacy is linked to health problems.
• Prostitution raises women’s self-esteem.
• Heterosexuals were never in much risk from AIDS.
• Jesus Christ denounced lying – not pre-marital sex, contraception, abortion, or drug use.
• Adolescents who experiment with drugs are better adjusted than their peers.
• Marijuana users are happier than non-users.
• America’s gardens contain easily accessible heroin and hallucinogens.
• Caffeine is as addictive as cocaine. Nicotine is more addictive than heroin. LSD addiction is impossible.
• If it was not criminalized, heroin would be relatively harmless.
• If you tried crack or heroin it is unlikely you would ever become addicted.
• One of the 20th century’s greatest scientific discoveries was drug induced, as was one of the 19th century’s greatest paintings.
• President George W. Bush has used cocaine and, like his wife and daughters, he has also used marijuana.
• In America, people serve longer prison sentences for drug charges than for rape or manslaughter.
• The federal government bullies states and foreign countries whose citizens wish to decriminalize drugs.
• America’s global drug war made 9/11 possible.
