When a society ends up driven only by money, it is poorer for it.
My family history comes from Ireland at about the turn of the century when my grandfather moved to England after yet another potato famine there. He told me he was so hungry he'd eat the pig's swill.
As you might imagine, my mother had rather stern views on eating food that was placed in front of you. Allergies my arsenal!
What we have here and what you had in Hungary and to an extent Germany for all those years with the wall in place, was a democratic deficit, if you will. You write to the politicians and tell them how you quit smoking by
vaping, and they take the money from BP and BT and vote how they like.
It is the difference between a representative and a delegate. i have told my local reps and senators that if they vote down
vaping, not only will i not vote for them, but i'll motivate as many others as i can to do the same. They do not represent me and they will be replaced.
Vapers are typically older ex-smokers, most likely at their peak of earnings. We could be a rather powerful demographic block.
