Sure, we've all been there before. Out on the internet, in the checkout line, driving down the road. It doesn't matter where, you always run into one of them! And some of THEM run the government. Or at least, they attempt to. To me it's an American bureaucratic pig slaughter with no one there to eat. It's for the sport. It's the blood lust that roots itself inside every "tie" on the hill. One day, the fat slobbering filth is sitting in his office snorting and rooting in shit then suddenly, he has an idea. It makes sense to him. Now, after a few payoffs and getting the correct backing with small talk and circle talk that doesn't really mean much nor make any sense, it's now law. So you're out on the highway, in the fast lane behind some non-driving soccer mom in her urban assault vehicle slamming your hand on the steering wheel, screaming out wicked acts of vengeance and obscenities. Why the stress? Because THEY can't drive. WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT IT? Nothing? No way man! You can honk, flash your lights, wave your fist out the window, scream really loud, all perfectly legal and within your right to bitch because you're an American and this bitch is infringing on your right to drive! "Meanwhile, back at the halls of justice...." The Department of Justice today filed a 25 billion dollar ($25,000,000,000) lawsuit against the tobacco industry citing that they, the tobacco industry, misled smokers about the health hazards of smoking. What can you do about it? I thought it was my right as an American to choose what harmful elements I want to poison myself with. What next, are they going to sue Colombia for not expressing the health risks of cocaine? Are they going to sue Bill Clinton, our nation's fine president (::cough::) for misrepresenting his constituents (Americans)? Here's how it happens. The government can't rightfully take away our choice to smoke. Well, actually they can outlaw cigarettes which would cause a major health risk to Washington, open new black markets, increase prison capacity, make cops rich, and shuts down tobacco companies in which case many hard working blue collar Americans are out of work and half of Nabisco has been snuffed out which increases the cost of manufacturing Chips Ahoy twofold which would really piss me off!!! |

But instead, they financially break the back of the tobacco industry by filing a 25 billion ($25,000,000,000) dollar lawsuit in which case the cost of cigarettes goes up to $5 a pack (that's 50+ dollars a carton for all you smokers) in which case people attempt to quit, the cost of Zyban doubles thanks to demand, everyone's irritated, no one's smoking in which case the tobacco industry goes bankrupt and hundreds of thousands of hard working blue collar Americans are out of work which has no effect on Chips Ahoy. But it still irritates me. $25,000,000,000 (25 billion dollars) lawsuit. $25,000,000,000 is half of Bill Gates net worth when he became the richest man in the world! My question...where does all that money go. Supposedly, the excuse is that the Department of Justice (a department without checks and balances who can't seem to get their heads out of their bureaucratic asses) wants to recoup all the money lost on health care for smoking related illnesses since the 50's. Ok, where does all that money go? How much new education improvements can $25,000,000,000 buy? How much does it cost to wage a war on drugs? (just curious.) How many inner cities can be rebuilt? How many starving people can be fed? That's probably enough to buy Andorra! By the way, are you aware that the President of the American Arthritis Foundation (a non-profit organization) at the state level makes over $125,000 a year? Hmm...let's see, there's 50 states.... What can you do about it? Speak up! I can't hear you!
