| 28. Meanwhile tobacco KILLS 400,000 people a year |
|
in America. 400,000 a year and 35,000 of those are 2nd hand smoke victims. Tobacco is responsible for more deaths in America than any other single cause. Look it up. The stats are out there for all to see. And yet our politicians...our elected leaders...continue to take money from the tobacco industry (think about Boehner handing out tobacco corps checks on the house floor) to fuel their campaigns. 400,000 a year dying agonizing deaths from cancers, lung and heart disease, emphysema etc. While marijuana kills...wait for it...ZERO. Thanks Obama.
America is effed up beyond repair. No election is going to save it. No politician is going to save it. No recall campaign, no activist petition drive. It will take a complete and total collapse of the state...a total economic meltdown (which is coming btw) with people starving in the streets, baby's crying, pitchforks and torches...the full monty...before we can expect something different.
Dont vote...rise up and revolt.
