Most people can’t be dared to care about something until and unless it’s their ox being gored. I was warning the tobacco nazis a decade ago to enjoy their “victory” over the smokers because next up on the list was going to be them and their fat, happy meal eating kids since they were such useful pawns in the tobacco war. I’m largely content to let them learn the hard way.
I started dealing with the tobacco nazis in 1988, back when we didn’t have the internet for doing our research. In the early 90’s I had friends who worked in the tobacco industry who were truly impressed with the information I came up with.
One part of me is also content to let them learn the hard way, but most of me can’t because I see where it is all going to lead -and it’s scary.
