Regarding Those Graphic Cigarette Package Pictures
Self | 25 June 2011 | wgflyer

Given that the FDA now would demand graphically unpleasant images be plastered all over cigarette packages perhaps a useful trend could emerge. For example, why not superimpose photos of auto accident victims, the more severe the injury the better, on cell phone telephone bills? Condoms passed out to children at their schools could be adorned with close ups of the various and more nasty symptoms of STDs. Abortion clinics could have wall murals of the dismembered fetus. Homosexual marriage licences could be decorated with various photos of AIDS "victims" in the last sickly throes of life. All journalism texts might be plastered with up close snapshots of Helen Thomas and the words "Warning. This could be you!" Perhaps a snapshot of Rosie on burger bags? I dunno.

Ultimately, the public good would be most greatly served at Democrat convention halls and polling places with huge, wall sized posters of various pimps, hookers, adicts, thugs, thieves, child molesters, corrupt fat cats, terrorists and illegal aliens, all in one group photo with the slogan: One great big unhappy disfunctional family.

With this, I agree. :)

My point was having a little fun with you having a little fun with your point because, believe me, there will be people who will take your little fun as NOT a little fun, i.e., seriously, and then weze got problems.

Yes.

Besides. Do you really want a government that sets out to address ALL problems?

I don’t.

But I don’t want to think like a teenager who looks at rules as an all or nothing proposition.
