The why's and the how's

1. Why is it that an eighteen-year-old is considered responsible enough to vote in an election but not responsible enough to drink alcoholic beverages?

2. Why is it that you can give yourself an orgasm but not a hug?

3. How is it that the United States has some of the highest rates of illegal drug abuse yet is one of only a handful of countries that make these same drugs illegal in the first place?

4. Why are there so many starving people in the world when there are enough resources to meet all basic human needs worldwide?

5. At what point did we let technology (i.e. nuclear weapons) superceed the consequences of creating such advancements?

6. Why is one sin (such as lying) considered any worse than another sin (such as infidelity)? And who gets the authority to decide?

7. At what point do we hold politicians accountable for their lies (i.e. the war in Iraq)?

8. How long will we sit by and watch all of the injustices in the world before we speak up?

9. Why are we more concerned about celebreties than issues going on in the world?
