	Precisely, however I am not convinced we have the oats or the sense to 
raise up our arms against the likes of the mass murderer Bush.  Too much 
comfort and net.porn to keep the average beast mollified and stupefied. 
  Welcome to the dark side of freedom.

	That is an excellent point.  Each of us driving a car puts out far more 
toxic crap in a day than any 5-pack-a-day smoker could produce in ten 
lifetimes.  Why not ban all internal combustion engines?  Colorado had 
considered this back in the mid-70s.  You can imagine the reception taht 
idea received.  Money is one reason.  That and the fact that 90% of the 
population of the USA would be dead in a matter of a few weeks because 
they'd have no clue where to get food, were it not conveniently shipped 
almost to their doorstep.
