In that case, I think you'd be well advised to preach memetics and
*freethought*. Why stop at freeing yourself from just one of the many
mind viruses? Kill them all! Try Zen...

(and now that you've played my part, I play yours, right?)
Yes, but people have been killing each other for dubious reasons for
years... not only that, but the entire idea here is to *stop* the
tobacco companies from killing people for the *dubious* benefit of
making some money.
So lets fight fire with fire.

Retaliation will merely *aid* the purpose, here. If the tobacco company
retalitated, then the *sympathy* of the press will be *with* us, rather
than against us. On thing we know for sure: the t.c. will not be
interested in having *more* press on this issue. They will want less.
A cover up, not a retaliation...

Yea, and I here Bob Dole is a really nice guy, too. That doesn't mean
we should make *either* of them president...

Think of the money the Government will save!

Stop wasting our brains on moronic television and actually go out and
lead real lives??? nah... I mean, we can hope, but it seems unlikly to
me...

So why don't you kill yourself?

Like I said, why don't you kill yourself?
