I was referring to the fact that they LEARNED well what drugs were and how to use them! It didn't stop them it only "educated" them to it.
I'll concede that they learn something but not that they "get the message" or learn what you were trying to teach.
Maybe its not education alone but the amount of exposure of it. The old saying of teach this generation what you want the next generation to do. Advertise. Pictures. Pamphlets, etc. If all this cost billions would a few million spent toward education make a difference? In elections do we not introduce a new face and convince the public to vote for them? How? Education. How do you know what you know and what to do? Education.
What I know and what I want to do are results of an education, mostly its self-education. In other words, I wanted to know it so I learned it. An election was a poor choice for an example as well. People who vote often have no idea who they're voting for or why (see minimum wage increase), and most people don't vote. Keeping with the political theme though, people react emotionally to virtually everything that requires a quick decision - greed and pride are very popular emotions. "Click here to find out about this latest, hottest stock!" "James <your last name> died here in Africa, leaving you the money from his oil!" "Do better in bed, and give her what she wants!" "You know your good but she wants big too!" Oh, and then you have that other emotion, "Pass this on and Microsoft will donate a 1 dollar to save Iraqi children." _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
