Dangers of DHMO

Before I watched the video on the Dangers of DHMO I already knew that they were talking about water. In the 9th grade my physical science teacher gave us the exact same information and had everyone in the class convinced and signing a petition to have it banned. He didn't tell us until the end of the hour that it was actually water that we were wanting to ban. After I found out that DHMO was water I read through all the facts again and it all made sense, but it didn't make sense to ban it anymore because it's water.

 That day I learned not to fall for something until I have heard all of the facts. I should have been asking questions and I should have asked him to tell me a few good things about DHMO, and hopefully with that information I could have figured out if it is something that I really wanted to ban or not. 

This helped me in the future because I began asking more questions and figuring out what I really believed and wanted to believe. It also helped me in tough situations where people want me to sign a petition for them and I don't really want to right away. Instead of signing it, I ask questions and tell them I will look deeper into during my own time, and after I look into it then I would make the decision.
