The fear of the end of prohibition of incest

Those who are appalled by some prohibitions to do so because they subconsciously believe they also end the "prohibition of incest".

In Uruguay are discussing (year 2012) two major issues: the legalization of abortion and the legalization of marijuana marketing for recreational purposes, ie not necessarily medicated as already authorized in several countries.

They are two very controversial issues, which call passionate defenses and attacks.

What is being discussed is to abandon the doctrine of prohibition, which is to punish severely those practices that are considered harmful to the citizens and society.

In the United States had the most popular example referred to the prohibition of the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages and, for better handling of the media, was called metaphorically "Prohibition" (1).

I mention this handling of the media because all prohibitions are the providers of material that reporters fill pages and minutes of television and radio, in different media.

It then escapes the phenomenon, that the prohibitions have great concrete benefit, that is, give employment to millions of workers worldwide.

However, the bans are ineffective. The prohibition only encourages criminals.

With a sense of humor could say that:

Violent methods are so counterproductive that it would not be a bad idea to prohibit young people to study, to work and to clean his room.

With a similar approach, it might be advantageous to force them to have sex, masturbating, watching TV, playing, talking on cell phones and consume "fun drugs".

Now seriously say to people who are appalled by some prohibitions to do so because they subconsciously believe they also end the "prohibition of incest".
