    I really hope one day people will look back at those practices the same way we look back at the normality of cigarettes being pushed on everyone back in the 50’s.

            One of my favourite people used to say “you gotta die from something” whenever the topic of his smoking would come up. Then he got a stroke that didn’t kill him.
