It all goes back to our hypocritical founding fathers. The asterisk meant you have to be white. This is the freest land in the world, but over 2 million citizens rot in our jails. We have a government of the people. When someone gets all worked up about lung cancer and tobacco companies, I tell them to open their pantry and remove half of the food in it.
Chances are, tobacco companies own the food brands.
You better like Philip Morris because they're the same people. We believe in clean air, and big SUVs. We believe in unpolluted beaches, and sewage systems that make our waste someone else's problem. We drive to the gym and pay to run in place. It's a vicious cycle we're stuck in, one that most don't care to think about.
