Ah, that's one I would have liked to have read but haven't yet. I'm not very well read unfortunately ... a bit of a gap in my education.

Kate - try the library. You owe it to yourself.

Aye, we're all doomed.

I don't know how it got like this. We beat the authoritarian Nazis yet we've become more and more authoritarian ourselves since.

Well, but we don´t kill the Jews any more. We kill Arabs, and that is just humanitarian bombing, so it´s OK.

No Frankie you've got it wrong. We're killing Arabs because it's "for our own good" as they are part of the Evil Empire.

Any way it aint gonna change the argument for or against E-Cigs.

I forgot to add to the original Topic. It was also a mall kiosk operator that bought the E-Cig to the attention of the Trading Standards in the UK and subsequently to the Press.

If our sellers do not act responsibly then this sort of article will just mushroom as it makes a good scare story.

But do you think they will?
Will they ****.

I'm probably going to make some people mad here but I'm gonna tell it like it is...

This control mentality persisting/growing is 100% the fault of anyone who has supported or not actively opposed policies that are created due to it.

If you agree with the drug war and drug laws, support sodomy laws, disapprove of gay marriage or even support certain seat belt/ helmet laws then YOU are responsible for the tramping on of civil liberties and the erosion of freedom.

People have absolutely no Idea what is and isn't a right. It should be a class in school.

Those things I listed above... I personally dislike the Idea of the gay lifestyle... But I would NEVER seek to prevent with force ( the state) to prevent them from doing what they want to do. That is Called Tolerance. Live and let live.

America HAD a chance this last election to move that direction. They had a chance with Ron Paul and also with Bob Bar who was on the ballot. The majority of Americans were duped once again into believing the old line " A vote for anything other than a republican or Dem. is a wasted vote.

Americans have spoken all right... they have chosen to lose more liberty in the name of security.
