people are responsible for what they do. smokers are slowly killing themselves...

they aren't denying that fact... they're just rationalizing it... that still doesn't make the fact any less deadly...

plus i think there are too many people on this bit of space dust... so smoking is a good cure.

Yeah, one time the Conservative Columnist George Will was on one of the Sunday Morning Discussion Shows and they were talking about the Social Security Crisis. His idea that it was a huge mistake to discourage smoking, simply because of the short term medical expenses, and that, overall, the rising mortality rate of smokers dropping dead would more than pay Society back for the medical bills. .

Its against the law and unseemly to kill people outright. But if you can sell them an adictive product that does the same thing... way cool!

Anyway, the other columnists knew that such a discussion could not happen on Sunday Morning, on national TV and they quickly changed the subject.

On Sunday Morning you just don't examine all the ways that Death is a Good Thing.
