Subject: BS: Does it make sense to you that . . . .
The things people do amaze me. I wonder if anyone would care to add to this list of things that people do that make absolutely NO sense. A few starters:

1) There are three places to put garbage: in the water, on the land, in the air. We create lots of garbage and put it in one of these three places. Humans are slowly poisoning themselves by doing this. We continue to do it.

2) Humans built over 50,000 nuclear weapons--the use of which would have severely limited our time on this planet. We knew that, and we built them anyway.

3) We know that cigarettes are a killer. The people we elect collect taxes from the sale of a toxin. Then they fund advertisements telling us how bad cigarettes are.

Does this make sense to you? I know people will give the reasons for each of the above, but that will not answer the question. I would like to know what we can derive from this particular aspect of human behaviour. Thank you.
