[Winona Online Democracy]
Oh, I think we've all beat up on big tobacco enough for awhile. The kids in
this day and age have anti-smoking indoctrination at school, even to the
point of ocassionally being rude to people they see smoking in public. I
would be more concerned if the Daily News printed ads for that resturant
chain that uses a clown to sell heart disease to our kids in something
called a 'Happy Meal'.
By the way, since TV and newspapers started featuring stories about oral sex
in the Oval Office a few years ago, I've been very careful about my kids
exposure to the media in general.
