It's truly amazing how much a headline can have such a long lasting impact.

Most people will read it, take it for gospel, and never think twice about it. It sets their tone literally forever. If it's a lie- so what, if it's a partial truth- so what, if it's copy and pasted BS- so what. . . it will hang in the air like a nasty far. . . well you get the point.

It is truly unfortunate. Especially for adults these days. I know many of you have children and I know how much you care for them. However, it has become all too common place for politicians and Do-Good groups to hide behind them. Along with the headlines. . . well, it's almost insurmountable.

I know a lie when I see one. If I don't, I research it. That implies work.

I don't know if my neighbor does the same, I doubt it. I have lost faith in this society. This isn't the America I grew up in. It's truly embarrassing.

OK, so this is for all of those idiots who claim on their blogs and in their propoganda that e-cigs contain "the same ingredient as anti-freeze, propylene glycol."

The idiots are mistaking propylene glycol with diethylene glycol. It's diethylene glycol that the FDA says they found in e cig cartridges. It is true that diethylene glycol is found in engine coolant and it is toxic and not found in food products like propylene glycol is. However, another test found that the amount of diethylene glycol was too little to pose a significant risk. Personally, I will hold out judgment until I see further unbiased and independent testing.
