Excellent video! There is another movie by the name of Cold Turkey that was a favorite of mine as a kid. My father took me to see it. He was a smoker and he quit when I was 10yo. Although, he got cancer of the lungs anyway when I was in my late 20s or so. The doctors said that his lungs were actually quite clear and did not show any signs of damage from smoking. Yep, folks, there are other reasons that people get lung cancer. Frankly, the chemicals that they've added to cigarettes are a much bigger problem than the tobacco, and why the hell should people be smoking gun powder in their cigarettes, anyway?! Greedy corporate bastards just can't be satisfied that a product burns up when it is consumed; they have to make it burn even faster!

And now they're passing all sorts of laws banning smoking everywhere! Wake up, folks! The government is chipping away at our liberties and that is far more scary than cancer! Do you want them to start telling you that you can't drink alcohol? Remember prohibition? Guess what! There's buzz that they are thinking about restricting alcohol on planes! Now that's brilliant! *heavy sarcasm* Take away smoking flyers rights to smoke on an airplane and then take away their alcohol, too! Why not just torture 'em! Oh, I know! Fill the plane with a bunch of screaming babies and shopaholic moms who don't know about the rules restricting anything other than a 3oz container of any liquid or gel (like a kids damn juice box, for instance!), and put 'em on a plane with a bunch of large, aggressive businessmen who smoke and drink! Although they can't smoke because there's a law that says so! And then they can't drink to calm their nerves! And then they've got a bunch of kids screaming their bloody heads off because they don't have their favorite juice box, and a bunch of wealthy pissed off mom's who just got back from a shopping junket, and who are ready to kill somebody because some underpaid security person confiscated their zillion-dollar jar of La Mer face cream! Hey, that sounds like a real fun party! Yea, right! Like I would really feel safe flying on that plane! NOT! And do ya think that those happy campers are gonna be on the lookout for terrorists and take action like the passengers on Flt. 93 did? (Or did they really, does anybody actually know what really happened on Flt. 93?!)

Anyhoo... Just how safe do you suppose we all are with a tin can with wings flying around in the clear blue yonder with a load of irritated passengers? Those very passengers are the ones who could save peoples lives if they weren't so hot under the collar because the damn government said they couldn't smoke or possibly drink or bring certain things, that are totally within reason, on board an airplane! What next? No luggage or pockets? I mean, c'mon! As if metals are the only sharp objects that can cause harm to someone, and like a bottle of water is gonna explode! For Pete's sake! I almost had a tube of mascara confiscated at one airport that I flew out of! Can't you just see the headlines now? Plane Hijacked With Lip Gloss, lol! Not funny, ya say? It could happen, ya say? Yea, it probably could! And it could also happen with all sorts of other objects and substances that they aren't restricting on flights! So, where does it end? Do we all fly buck naked?! Yea, maybe that would just ice the cake for all those pissed off businessmen who can't smoke or drink! Let's see, what other ways can we bring out their aggressive nature? I mean, we really don't need those big men to be paying close attention so those wimpy little terrorists that can hijack planes with tubes of lip gloss and mascara now, do we?

Hey, how many folks do you suppose would be a little hot under the collar if the government started telling us what we could eat? Do you suppose all the self-righteous do-gooder anti-smoking types would have a problem them? Hmmm... Let's see, we could have the cholesterol police, and the Sugar police, and the anything-but-organic police, and the caffeine police, and... how about the chocolate police?! You think it couldn't happen, folks? With the rising cost of health care, the growing number of obese Americans, the big pharmaceutical industry, the big insurance industry, the big health care industry, and all the greedy corporations and politicians, you think it can't happen? Have a real good think on that!

WAKE UP, PEOPLE!
