I thought at the time that this woman must be a liberal, because only a liberal would so completely miss the importance of this picture and what that young man was all about

"Lifestyle nazis" aren't just limited to the liberal wing of politics.

Years ago, people wouldn't have thought anything about that picture. Now, the brainwashing has set in and people instinctively recoil from the cigarette. In 20 years it will be something different. Pretty soon, you'll have to hide in a room to scarf down anything with fat or sugar. People will glare at you for sitting on the porch instead of exercising and tobacco products, no doubt, will be a death penalty offense.
