Nausea

The house passed a bill yesterday that gives the FDA rights to regulate cigarettes. That means that they can change everything, the nicotine content, the shape, the size, the warning label on the box, and even add ingriedients that were not previously there. These are the same people who use words like "acceptable" and "fecal matter" in the same sentence on a regular basis, people who's orders come from behind high walls, from rooms with no windows. They know whats best for you, even if they don't know you, and they are going to force their belief's on us weather we want it or not, conform and like it, or else....

Let me just see if I understand this correctly-The gov'ment owns wallstreet and through wallstreet, our entire "free market" system, the gov'ment owns the car companies, the gov'ment owns the tobacco industry, the gov'ment owns the banks.

Democracy is a form of government in which power is held directly or indirectly by citizens under a free electoral system.

Capitalism is an economic system in which wealth, and the means of producing wealth, are privately owned and controlled rather than commonly, publicly, or state-owned and controlled. Through capitalism, the land, labor, and capital are owned, operated, and traded by private individuals either solely or jointly.

A monopoly, exists when a specific individual or enterprise has sufficient control over a particular product or service to determine significantly the terms on which other individuals shall have access to it. Monopolies are thus characterized by a lack of economic competition for the good or service that they provide and a lack of viable substitute goods. The verb "monopolize" refers to the process by which a firm gains persistently greater market share than what is expected under perfect competition.

Wake up! Our right to choose for ourselves is being systematically erradicated, one tiny, insignificant detail at a time. Cigarettes can only be thumped so much before they are either regulated out of existense, or just plain too expensive to purchase, do you really think that all the people lining their pockets from this endeavor are going to just find REAL jobs when it's all over?! Do you really think it will end here? What's next on Uncle Sam's hit list? How about violence in video games and movies? How about gov'ment regulated music and news casts? Are you ready for an all singing, all dancing, ooey-gooey world that only lets you do/have/enjoy what someone else decides for you?

It's not about a cleaner, safer world. It's not about your health, or the health of the person breathing your air. It's about control, and nothing else. How can we let this happen?! How can we be so gullable, so completely taken over without a fight?! You have nothing to lose, everything that you think you own can be taken away from you at a moments notice, it exsists only to keep you docile, and if that ever gets in the way of what the people in power want, it will be gone by the next day, believe that. The next time you get a free moment look up "The right of imminent domain"...Fuck it, I'll do it for you:

Eminent domain (United States), in common law legal systems is the inherent power of the state to seize a citizen's private property, expropriate property, or seize a citizen's rights in property with due monetary compensation, but without the owner's consent.

You have nothing, save for what the gov'ment thinks will keep you quiet and subservient, and only as long as those things don't affect what they are doing. I say again, wake up! Our time is short and our list of options grows smaller with each passing day.
