Let me tell you why - these folks don't want any personal responsibility. They want the free ticket to say, "It wasn't my fault".
They want all responsibility to be taken by the tobacco companies for their own choice to smoke.
The LIBERALS shake-down with great success, all succesful America businesses. Their aim is to control all finances. The biggest shake-down is Microsoft. Bill Gates pushed America's technology, PC, Intenert, telecommunication. When the LIBERALS insisted on shooting the Golden Goose, Mr Bill Gates, withdrew his support of technology, now the stock market is in the toilet.
I am disappointed that George W., Justice department continues the actions against Microsoft. If Microsoft was in a different country, I assure you that it would be a considered a national teasure and not treated as a liability. ONLY in LIBERAL AMERICA!
But Joe, if they take personal responsibility in this matter, then they would have to take it in all matters, and that would defeat the purpose of the nanny state.
The poor whiney wimps who choose not to quit, have no right to go after a company that does not force them to smoke in the first place.
This society has become lawsuit and "it's not my fault" happy. With the prevailing winds allowing anyone and everyone to sue anything and everything on the flimsiest of reasons with the smallest amount of evidence... just because you prefer the "victim" mentality, doesn't mean the rest of us do.
Stand up, tell people.. "Yeah, I smoke, no one held a gun to my head to make me". Oh wait, there's that personal responsibility thing again.
