Look, I'm a smoker trying to give up and come on guys!!!! you can't possible say that the smoking ban is a bad thing????? Have you read anything about the effects smoking has on not just yourself but people around you. Family friends??? Fine smoke but other people want to go to a pub or restaurant without inhaling deadly toxins into their body. As I said, I smoke but I can't believe anyone would think that the government is doing a bad thing by trying to improve the health of the country and of our children.

When I was consulting at UCLA we discovered that if you dark-adapt for half an hour, you can see cigarette smoke when the glow of the cigarette is hidden. The reason you can see it is because the smoke is photo-luminescent. It's photo-luminescent because it's radioactive and you can count it, way above the background with a beta counter. It's radioactive because tobacco concentrates uranium and other radioactive components. The murderous tobacco corporations know this. They are only concerned about their ill-gotten gains. They are thieves and liars.

Further: The smoke is cohesive. It doesn't dissipate freely and is imposed on anyone in the near vicinity of the self-destructive smoker. It also lays a filthy, sticky coating on everything it contacts including throats, lungs and the breathing organs of innocent bystanders.

It's incredible that this deadly poison can be packaged and distributed by criminal corporations to the detriment of everyone. More must be done to get rid of tobacco and the harm it does to smokers and innocent non-smokers.

Oh! I used this addictive poison until I was 26. Now at 73 so happy to be free of it except its imposition by inconsiderate, self destructive smokers. I am the sworn enemy of the tobacco companies and will do everything possible to defeat their criminal activities.

Obama or McCain? You Decide.

Image
Barack Obama is the only candidate that has been successful at reaching across party lines in the presidential election. I as well have not had much to say on The Dirt. It is unfortunate that I no longer consider myself in tune with life in the Delta and can no longer comment as such. My free time (what little of it I have) has also been dedicated to following both the presidential election and American Idol like a hawk. That having been said, I am not afraid to admit that my name is on Amy's list of previously sane people who are seriously considering Obama in November. Now, my consideration depends on a lot of future events to fall into place. First and foremost, Obama will have to beat Hillary for the Democratic nomination. If that were to happen, my pick between Obama and McCain would also depend on who each picks for their veep candidate. As a self-proclaimed independent, I find myself torn between these two candidates and refuse to make a blind decision based on what ce...

Editorial: As Predicted, McCain Falls in the Polls

This two-minute campaign ad clearly states Barack Obama's plan to reenergize our economy. Thank God someone is addressing this issue. In an opinion editorial previously published this week, I predicted that the roller coaster ride the economy has been on this week would cause Republican presidential candidate John McCain to fall in the polls. "My prediction: By the end of the week, McCain's stance on the economy will cause his Palin bump in the polls to all but disappear." According to Real Clear Politics , "one of America’s premier independent political web sites," my prediction came true. Currently, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is ahead in the polls by 1.9% , approximately the level by which he was ahead leading into the Democratic and Republican conventions. The Palin bump that McCain joined is now completely gone. This reversal of fortune is due, in part, to Obama's strength on the issue of the economy and the popularity of his e...
