Wondering

Why does it seem like every other commercial is about a drug that makes things right? Why is it, if you listen there is usually fifteen side affects you don't want. Why do we make it so it is lucrative to buy and sell illegal substances? Why do we ignore the violence we spawn by prohibiting such things? Why do we punish when we should help? Why do we hurt when we should love? Do we long to punish people for mistakes? Does it make us feel superior? I just don't know... Do you?
