He spoke about the very first instance of Prohibition:</span></p> <p style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;">1. The Law: Do not eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil!</span></p> <p style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;">2. Location: Garden of Eden</span></p> <p style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;">3. Number of people involved: 2</span></p> <p style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;">4. Number of Trees of Knowledge to prohibit: 1</span></p> <p style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;">5. Entity enforcing the Prohibition: The Creator himself…wow.</span></p> <p style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;">We all know how that ended up. And while this is an extreme example, knowing that this almighty Prohibition itself did not work on such a small control sample is an interesting way to illustrate why it does not work.</span></p> <p style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;">By dangling something in front of people and saying “See this lovely thing here? Well, you can’t have it.” all you are doing is making them want it more.</span></p> <p style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;">This is nothing new, I just thought it was a funny illustration of Prohibition.</span></p>BCChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18412135468781761558noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-332354476761890684.post-84766872617577925872009-09-02T19:59:00.000-07:002009-09-02T20:01:21.708-07:00Next Meeting: October 5, 2009<span style="font-family: arial;">We have solidified the next date for the Birmingham Compassion - Club Meeting!<br /><br />Monday, October 5, 2009<br />6:30pm<br />Baldwin Public Library, Birmingham, MI<br /><br />More details about people and presentations will come, but for now, put it on your calendar and come join us!<br /><br />BC<br /></span>BCChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18412135468781761558noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-332354476761890684.post-9420394375845709182009-08-27T10:41:00.000-07:002009-08-27T10:45:01.601-07:00Thank You!

class="MsoNormal">Thanks to all to who attended the inaugural meeting of the Birmingham Compassion Club. We had seventy in attendance, with many staying behind to help and learn until the doors closed at 8:45pm – great showing for the community!
<br />
<br />Thanks also to Greg Francisco and Brad Forrester from the MMMA, and Dr. Robert Kenewell from the Clinic for Compassionate Care for presenting and taking questions. If you were not able to get your question answered, feel free to email us at <a href="mailto:birminghamcompassion@gmail.com">birminghamcompassion@gmail.com</a> and we will answer it or find somebody who can.
<br />
<br />With so many attendees, Tony, Mark, and I didn't get to meet each of you personally, so make sure to grab us at the next meeting or shoot us a quick hello email.
<br />
<br />We’re still finalizing the date for the next meeting, which is tentatively set for Tuesday, September 22. (September happens to have 5 Tuesdays, so we wanted to go with the 4<sup>th</sup> Tuesday of every month instead of the Last Tuesday of every month). But stay tuned to the <a href="http://birminghamcompassion.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">http://birminghamcompassion.blogspot.com</a>, <a href="http://www.comfortgroup.org/" target="_blank">www.comfortgroup.org</a> and the MMMA website for details.</p><p class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">And here's a way you can help: Make sure to let us know particular topics you want to hear about! Send an email or submit a blog comment and we can tailor the meeting accordingly. We have a good 4-6 presentations on tap over the next few meetings that we can shift around as needed so come back to check them out. And if you know like-minded people who have questions or concerns about the Medical Marijuana Laws in Michigan, tell them and bring them. <o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">
<br /></p><p class="MsoNormal">This great start for the Birmingham Compassion Club is a part of the strong continual effort of the whole Movement.<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Sign up on the blog for updates, let us know your comments and keep supporting Compassion Clubs.
