Northern Lights Mystery Exposed By Scientists

Had the absolute THRILL to witness the Aurora Borealis one night back in the early 70s.
I had always thought that the colors I had seen in photos had been exaggerated for effect until I saw them for myself that night. They weren't. It was every bit as vivid as they had told me it was, and I was dazzled.
It lasted for about 90 minutes, and I couldn't look away. posted 07/24/2008 at 23:07:53

Also, the media LOVE their sound bites and video clips, and from that standpoint, the MSM couldn't be happier.

I'm glad you're more interested in the issues than in those things, but in the real world, unfortunately, those things tend to have sway with the less informed voter that thinks they're doing their due diligence simply by watching 30 minutes of evening news, and then showing up at the polling place. posted 07/22/2008 at 12:12:21

We Can't Afford to Wait to Regulate Tobacco

"Dana Reeves never smoked but it killed her."
______________________________________________

One of the anti-smoking bunch's favorite tricks: Lying.

There is ZERO proof that cigarette smoke caused her lung cancer. I can't even find a suggestion of that on sites that post extensive biographical information on her.
My mother died as a result of complications after lung cancer surgery. She never smoked, and cigarettes weren't even allowed to be smoked by others when in our home.
My father took up smoking after he moved to the east coast for a promotion to a high pressure job.
(We stayed in Chicago)
He smoked Camel straights (No filter) for nearly 45 years. He's now 82 years old and very active, with a clean bill of health.

There are thousands of other substances in daily life that can cause lung cancer, and one can never know which of them we are exposed to, or are genetically weaker at fighting.

The specious argument that all lung cancer is caused by cigarettes isn't good enough either. posted 07/22/2008 at 12:43:51

I'm not only for legalization of heroin, but marijuana, and many other banned substances as well.
Strict government regulation of sales and the institution of addiction treatment programs would decrease street crime by, I have read, more than 65%.
Look at countries like the Netherlands where the regulated sales of substances INCLUDING some opiates similar to heroin are legal.

But since you decided to go there, what about alcohol?
It destroys families and society FAR more than cigarettes or any other drug.
It is also considerably more damaging to the human body than even heroin.
Are you on board with banning beer? Ale? Wine? Champagne? Mojitos? Apple-tinis? Grey Goose? Glenfiddich? GRAIN ALCOHOL?

I have been an all day, every day smoker for 35+ years. I run 5 miles, 3 times per week, and I started just a couple of years ago. I am also active in other recreational sports.
(And no, I don't have a hacking cough.)

Had I consumed alcohol like I smoke, I'd have been dead 25 years ago.

Spare me the knee-jerk politically correct fulminations. If you're going to claim to protect the rest of the world from the evils of cigarettes, you either have to be as committed to the banning of other substances more harmful to the body, or continue the hypocrisy that dominates the anti-smoking crusade. posted 07/22/2008 at 12:02:10

2.) Pulling ridiculous hypothetical twenty point leads out of your backside is not a good idea.
