At least a few people get it. "Saliva-brained ninnies"...lol.

There are some posts on here basically screaming "The children..won't somebody think of the children?"

I agree with your post 100%, but sadly many people don't see they are being played....again. The "big money" is once again using the herds of dimwits to forward their plans to cash in. It is no difference than prohibition. They used the morality issue, the health issue and the religious issue to stop the sales of booze. A bunch of wild-eyed do-gooders fell for it and made a fortune for the black marketers and big money politicians.

They are doing the exact same thing and using the same kind of people to score it big on the black market tobacco. Just look at how many people they have right here on DU that are helping their agenda.



This is from Wikipedia, but it can be found in a lot of other places. Check out the similarities.

"The prohibition or "dry" movement began in the 1840s, spearheaded by pietistic religious denominations, especially the Methodists. After some success in the 1850s the movement lost strength. It revived in the 1880s, with the Woman's Christian Temperance Union and the Prohibition Party. After 1900 many states, especially in the South, enacted prohibition, along with many counties. Hostility to saloons and their political influence was characteristic of the Progressive Era. Supported by the anti-German mood of World War I, the Anti-Saloon League, working with both major parties, pushed a Constitutional amendment through Congress and the states, taking effect in 1920. From 1920 to 1933, the manufacture, sale, and transport of alcohol was prohibited in the United States. However, the private possession and consumption of alcohol was not prohibited. Nationwide prohibition was accomplished by means of the Eighteenth Amendment to the national Constitution (ratified January 16, 1919) and the Volstead Act (passed October 28, 1919). Prohibition began on January 16, 1920."
