Ok, now you're talking... legalize the good stuff. Of course, I've never partaken of the happy weed. :-) But we know that will never happen here in the U.S.
I hear and understand what you're saying, but I just can't bring myself to condone suing someone for something that you are in control of. People can quit. It's called will power. I personally know, as I'm sure many others on this list do, how difficult it is to quit tobacco. I'm currently in the process of quitting chewing tobacco. It's been damn hard, but I know if I don't stop, it'll kill me. And if I don't stop and I get cancer, I have nobody to blame, but myself. Sure, I could sue the tobacco companies, but in the end, I'm responsible for educating myself and making conscious decisions on what I put in my body. -----Original Message----- From: Angel Stewart [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 03, 2001 11:59 AM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: The Anti Terrorism Act.. Uhh... What's wrong with suing them because you can't quit? The company made it extremely extremely difficult to quit the product that is killing you...without telling you that and while intentionally misleading you. You think it's not fair to sue them? You think that everyone is supposed tobe ontop of the popular media and stories to KNOW what took place during those court hearings and to KNOW for certain that according to the very company that makes the product to which you are addicted : a) They do make it difficult to quit b) By their own research it greatly increases the risk of cancer and several other diseases, and will kill many people. Another way to drive them out of business is of course to Continue suing htem making it unprofitable to sell the stuff. Or to legalise Marijuana. -Gel ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Stewart" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Of course sueing is your perogative and your right.
