Quoted from CICERO


The 440,000 died doing something they enjoyed.  Can you say that about the dead in Vietnam?  If you take the North Vietnamese, South Vietnamese civilian and military deaths, that is well over 1 million.  We send our young men and women into slaughter people in the middle east to "liberate" them from tyranny, and we have a government that prices tobacco to keep it away from the poor.  As if the impoverished didn't have it bad enough, now let's take the choice of cigarettes away.    
I don't know what would be worse, the Theocracy America makes into a boogieman, or the Fascist Technocracy we currently live under.  Getting back the Constitutional Republic would be nice.


Cic always gets his FACTS wrong.  
The total number of Vietnamese killed in the 20+ years of our involvement in the Vietnam war is over 3,000,000.


The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

This made me think about that tabacco shop on altamont that was seized shortly after opening, was that due to a cig tax issue.


I don't spell check!  Sorry...
If you include "No offense" in a statement, chances are, your statement is offensive.

Bumble described three drugs that have terrible side effects for some people, but do help some people with
medical issues.

None of Bumblers drugs are a Class A Carcinogen, known to cause cancer, with no safe dose.

There are many natural carcinogens. Aflatoxin B1, which is produced by the fungus Aspergillus flavus growing on stored grains, nuts and peanut butter, is an example of a potent, naturally-occurring microbial carcinogen. Certain viruses such as Hepatitis B and human papilloma viruses have been found to cause cancer in humans. The first one shown to cause cancer in animals is Rous sarcoma virus, discovered in 1910 by Peyton Rous.

Dioxins and dioxin-like compounds, benzene, kepone, EDB, and asbestos have all been classified as carcinogenic.[2] As far back as the 1930s, industrial smoke and tobacco smoke were identified as sources of dozens of carcinogens, including benzo[a]pyrene, tobacco-specific nitrosamines such as nitrosonornicotine, and reactive aldehydes such as formaldehyde—which is also a hazard in embalming and making plastics. Vinyl chloride, from which PVC is manufactured, is a carcinogen and thus a hazard in PVC production.

Since the technocrats haven't labeled them as such, they must be safe.  Just like Nurse Ratched(Big Nurse) in One flew over the cuckoo's nest.

being a nurse for 20years.....THOSE DRUGS ALL SUCK.......they truly suck the life out of ALOT of folks......

but ALL DRUGS, cigarettes/alcohol/caffiene/pharm should be CHOICE......unless one is 'convicted' by their neighbors/loved ones to be incapable of making said choice....let's see how that flys in our
HOMELAND SECURITY/PATRIOT ACT JUSTICE SYSTEM....

they can kiss my a$$......

becareful ...... very very grey HIPPA line of psychotherapy that one DOES NOT want to get caught up in......

p.s. most drugs have listed unknown mechinism of action....BUT....the outcome is what we want....'F' the later effects.......after 20years of 'not experimenting' on the population, statins are getting
a second look and maybe even a third look.......

I have yet to see the 200 year old human.....CHOOSE WHAT YOU WISH


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
