Societal cognitive dissonance
"Preaching to the choir" is a term that I can relate to. I talk about the drug war to a wide variety of people and have found that a wide variety of people agree that the "War on Drugs" is not the right strategy to take. I was talking to some workmates the other day and they were making comments about how conversations change when people find out that the person they are talking to is a police officer. I made the observation that when I learn that someone is in the law enforcement business, I almost immediately begin talking about drug policy.
