Chris and readers,
The a...Slightly OT (apologies)<br /><br />Chris and readers,<br /><br />The antismoking assault over just the last few weeks in Australia<br /><br />Individual councils to be approached to ban smoking outdoors<br />http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/health-organisations-push-to-ban-smoking-outdoors/story-e6frf7kx-1225856592635<br />Ms Sharkie: “We also don’t want children to see people smoking and being influenced by that.” (Smokers as corrupters of children - straight from the Godber Blueprint)<br /><br />Cigarettes to be sold in plain, unappealing packaging<br />http://www.theage.com.au/lifestyle/wellbeing/rudd-hits-smokers-big-tobacco-20100428-tshr.html<br /><br />http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/federal-government-to-make-plain-packaging-compulsory-on-cigarette-packs/story-e6frf7jo-1225859576545<br /><br />$20 a pack to pay for general health reform (i.e., extortion)<br />http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/cigarettes-to-rise-by-650-a-packet-as-part-of-sweeping-tax-reforms/story-e6frf7jo-1225859066340<br /><br />As usual, there is NO – none whatsoever – coherent questioning of any of this conduct. All those within the closed propaganda-loop, whether ‘experts’ or celebrities, fully endorse the measures. Australia, amongst many others, is indeed a dangerously dumbed-down nation.<br />Every time the claim is made that the Children™ should be Saved® from smoking, what is actually being stated is:<br />Regardless of anything else about a smoker, that they smoke, and only that they smoke, makes them an ‘inferior’, detestable, depraved person. The antismoking world wants no more such ‘inferior’ persons. All measures must be taken to prevent such ‘inferior’ persons from occurring. It is the toxic language of bigotry, snobbery, and tyranny.RDPhttp://www.rampant-antismoking.comnoreply@blogger.com
