She also only actually wrote a handful of them; she died in the 80s of cancer, but her books were so profitable that her family hired ghost writers to keep writing and publishing under the VC Andrews name.

Why did I think Aretha Franklin died 3 days ago though. I've been seeing posts "remembering" her for days. Was she just hospitalized then? Because I really thought she was dead.

Cherry, I don't know what the construction pylons had done to you in the past, but it is pretty bad that I have to roll up the windows to prevent you from biting them. I can promise you'll deeply regret it if you manage to get close enough to hit one at 20mph.

Here's the thing about K Hop: she's apocalyptically stupid.

quote:

TobakkoNacht -- The Antismoking Endgame, is a frontal attack on the misuse of science and language to promote unjustified levels of smoking bans and taxes.
The author, trained in statistics and propaganda analysis at Pennsylvania's Wharton School, "dissects" the scary antismoking studies that have made headlines over the past ten years. He shows clearly in each case how the data and language have been juggled to reach and promote the conclusions of those handing out the grant money and backs up his arguments with solid science clearly explained at a level that will satisfy both laymen and professionals.

The book isn't all business though. It opens with a dystopian future tale of an "Endgame" in which the antismoking movement has gained full power and smokers are generally treated as near-criminals. The author explores the roots that could bring such a fiction into being and looks at the world that could be created... a very sad world indeed.

The pseudo science used to push goals like outdoor smoking bans is also attacked with satire and with short essays taking the form of "Letters To The Editor" focusing on all the microarguments used by antismoking crusaders playing with their "scientifical" instruments and by fanatic who'd happily apply the same methodology to reducing automobile and alcohol use. A few more formal communications showing how to approach local and national governmental bodies are also offered, again with the benefit of exposing false arguments while showing how to effectively attack the "authoritative sources" that seek to silence the opposition with their prestige while pushing for ever wider bans and ever higher taxes.

The book concludes with a strong section painting a path toward a winning endgame for those in the Free Choice movement, pointing to the weaknesses of the current crop of smoking prohibitionists and suggesting how they can best be countered.

TobakkoNacht can best be summed up like this: It shows how the denormalization of smokers has warped science and ripped holes in our social fabric while transforming a worthy public health effort into a destructive social force assaulting our lives, our families, and our communities -- and it shows how to fight back!

Because I had looked at the Amazon page for that radical pro-smoking activist's book last week, I was given a recommendation for another of his books: Tobakkonacht -- The Antismoking Endgame.

I wish she was just stupid, and not a combination of being monumentally thick, a horrific person, and rich because of the constant platform she’s given.

You'd think someone mad enough about anti-smoking laws to write a whole book about it would bother to look up the actual German translation for the word they're going to use as the title.

Free Speech Quotes:

Many people don't know this, but it's possible to read something you don't agree with on the Internet and simply move on with your life.

Freedom of speech doesn't protect speech you do like; it protects speech you don't like.

Being offended doesn't make you right.

When you resort to attacking the messenger and not the message, you have lost the debate.

Learn to be open minded and respectful to people's opinions, even when you don't agree.

A funny thing about tolerant people? They're really only tolerant when you agree with them.

If we do not believe in freedom of speech for those we despise we do not believe in it all all.

Those who do not know their opponent's viewpoints do not completely understand their own.

Freedom of speech is for everyone not just those you agree with.

Freedom is hammered out on the anvil of discussion, dissent, and debate.

We need more people speaking out. This country is not overrun with rebels and free thinkers. It's overrun with sheep and conformist.

What is freedom of expression? Without the freedom to offend, it ceases to exist.

It is better to debate a question without settling it than to settle a question without debating it.

Freedom of speech: Because my rights are more important than your feelings.

The only valid censorship of ideas is the right of people not to listen.

I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

A free society is one where it is safe to be unpopular.

To suppress free speech is a double wrong. It violates the right of the hearer as well as those of the speaker.

Freedom of speech is the most enduring, stablizing, and sustainable value of a free society.

Censorship is telling a man he can't have a steak just because a baby can't chew it.

If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.

'Freedom of speech' means you support the right of people to say exactly those ideas which you do not agree with.

Like it all boils down to "When I was happy and not worried, things were like this. Now things have changed and I am unhappy and worried. Obviously, if we just change it all back, things will once again be good and I will be happy and not worried."

Thus has it always been, thus will it always be when you hit middle age.
