Snip...
What - "Da Man be holdin' them down" too? Somebody nail their foot to the floor? Is there a force field around "Butcher's Holler" that prevents them from leaving?

They've got food, power, heat, clothes, &c, &c. . . Sounds like it's their own place too. If this is poverty, more than half the world's in something worse.

Much more than half... If the U.S. is such a shithole, and poverty is so rampant, then why are so many people *dying* trying to get in and *nobody* is dying trying to get out?

Its marketing
Smoking aint real healthy , there is reams of paperwork and studies to prove it isnt , I been taking my mum to the clinic a bit more frequent lately , and the number of lung cancer people who are still smoking even tho they know whats making their beathing not so hot .... its astounding .
And more and more kids get hooked every day

Why isnt there massive protests , cigarette buy backs , public out rage protests naked PETA chick with their hairy armpits flapping ...


and cars , they are bloody dangerous in the wronghands , people get horrendously injured even killed by car users ... they stink up the air more than tobacco users at times ...

And so far we are dealing with the everyday bloke , nt the mugger pimp crackhead or even the mafioso or politicians !!

If people realy knew what a stuffed up screwed up place the US realy is ... there would be mass migration to mexico where the living is better ....

Damn...that just might work!
