jihad against tobacco
by Paul Arrowood

The jihad against tobacco is nothing more than an excellent model of how a well organized group of political zelots can impose their will on a majority people in society. They are adept at utilizing the socialist liberal media and the far left political power to eploit their meaningless "Do Gooder" agenda. They have a larger than life group of followers in the medical and scientific community who are more than willing to promote tainted and fabricated science to dupe the public.

The goal of these anti smoking zelots has been to take away a personal freedom through a back door prohibition. There is no sound science that supports the second hand smoke health lie, and it is this "lie" that has tipped the balance in their favor. There are lots and lots of people who are highly offended by cigarette smoke. That is a fact and "that" is understandable. Publishing lies in the scientific community in order to further social political goals is simply unacceptable. However, now that this goal has been accomplished it is socially acceptable to openly discriminate against anyone who smokes.

While all this energy has been so successful in eradicating smokers, how are we doing with the elimination of uses and abuses of things like cocaine, crack, meth, etc? Where are the statistics regularly published by our "Do Right Media" on that subject? And what big social sin is next for our zelot social do gooder Nazis? Can't they fabricate some extreme "second hand" science to support the negative impact of overweight people on the beautiful people in our society? Should it be a law that giving your kids a candy bar or a Happy Meal is harmful and therefore you are an abusive parent? I know the answer.......... they will get to these issues as soon as they have fixed the Global Warming problem.
