When someone can show me that banning something ends the problem -- I'll totally agree with you. 'Til then - it's nothing but a feel good move that solves nothing.

We banned booze for awhile

We banned drugs

We don't allow teenage sex

We pledge to stay married for ever and ever

We swear to God "we'll never do "it" again".... and that lasts maybe 15 minutes.

We're humans. Humans just don't mind very well. Most of us do... but those few pesky ones -- well -- they just ruin it for all of us.
