Misinformation

I was downtown this afternoon, and saw a billboard proclaiming, amongst other things, that e-cigs are a TRICK from Big tobacco to get TEENS hooked on Nicotine! The billboard went on to say that vapor is TOXIC, underneath pictures of cartoon monsters giving an eGo setup to a couple eleven year olds.
If you're a vaper like me. and you know what a gigantic mountain of BS and misinformation this spreads, then you might have had a similar reaction to mine. Which was that I really wished I'd had my trusty cigarette lighter with me, so I could set that ridiculous billboard on fire. I wanted to scream at it, punch it, stomp on it, then do all those things to the people who put it up. Telling people outright LIES seems to be the way things just work these days. Wasn't it Hitler that said if you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it, and the bigger the lie, the easier it is to believe? Didn't he say something like that? Whatever. I'm not looking it up. But I do know this: Anti-vape Jerks Love Hitler and hate children.
Repeat it often enough...

And the more I think about it, my 'lie' isn't so far from the truth. The ani-vapers must have adored Hitler's use of propaganda and media control. Surely they took cues from the way he ran things. And yes, someone who willfully causes the decline in health of a nation of parents (by outlawing vaping) could easily be seen as hating children. Or at least not giving a damn about them having parents. Funny how they're happy to use children as an excuse to exert control, but have very little to do with actually helping or caring for them. Like those patently offensive General Electric commercials from a few years ago, showing babies clinging to life because they were hooked up to GE hospital gear. I wonder what they did to get model releases from those dying babies, forge their little footprints?
Sometimes, I worry deeply about climate change. Then I take notice of human behavior for a few minutes and think, 'Whatever.'
