Bravo to Chip too. It is easy to start an addiction. To end it takes blood, sweat and tears, to paraphrase Winston Churchill. 333782@desicritics.org Tue, 3 Jun 2008 02:13:09 EDT http://desicritics.org/2008/06/02/124006.php#comment-333756 Very interesting. URA, a really ridiculous group here at Saginaw Valley, attacked SVSU's new, more limiting smoking policy as "discriminatory towards our Asian and Arab exchange students." This article nicely condemns the cultural right to destroy one's self. One question: you stated that the uneducated and unsophisticated are the hardest to influence, yet they make easy targets for advertisement. Perhaps they are a hard audience for reasonable constraint of their compulsive desires, and sitting ducks to any confirmation that indulgence is totally acceptable. Bravo, sir. 333756@desicritics.org Mon, 2 Jun 2008 21:06:13 EDT
