Nah... It predates Churchill by a century.

I believe that the very first person who said that was Francois Guizot (1787-1874): "Not to be a republican at twenty is proof of want of heart; to be one at thirty is proof of want of head." Georges Clemenceau was very fond of the quote and repeated it himself.

Variations on this quotation are often attributed to King Oscar II of Sweden, Disraeli, Shaw, Churchill, and Bertrand Russell, among others.

The sentiment was very popular in the communist country where I grew up--everybody was constantly quoting it and winking knowingly. Of course, we substituted "communist" or "socialist" for Guizot's original "republican." Not to be confused with our Republican party...

right you are.
any biographer of Churchill will note he was extremely well read and constantly studied
in preparation for meetings and social engagements to be better prepared as he had
a learning disorder i believe. he was known for his quotes but even his biographers
are not sure of all that are original from those that are not.

I know this is not about vaping, but I thought it's relevant, because it exposes another unholy alliance between a regulatory agency and the industry it regulates:

BBC News - Secret tapes pull back curtain on Goldman Sachs

Of course, the article portrays the regulators as simply incompetent ("breathtaking wussiness") rather than the more appropriate conclusion that this is another instance of an Orwellian Shadowy Cabal conspiring to further special interests at the expense of the American public. And, in this case, expense is actually used in its literal sense of negative cash flow.

I feel your pain. The last almost-a-year has turned me into something I detest and swore I'd never be: an [Expletive Redacted] conspiracy theorist.

Haha, get use to it. There are even a few paid shills running around demeaning all of us investigators. It's almost an honor to be insulted by them. That's when I knew, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that we were all on to something. Dc2 and Agent Ania brought the CLS to light a few years ago, and it opened many doors of research.

With that said, I'd like to mention something that might be worth further investigating. Rosa Koire, on one of her sites, links the ALA with the A-21. She is a real estate agent who wants to stop the crazy "smart planning" etc, aka A-21.
Anybody who still considers a-21 a conspiracy needs to do some serious research instead of head shaking.
i bring this up, because it's a huge piece of the puzzle and because Rosa outlines ways to fight it. They're after all our rights, not just vaping. We nip one, in the right way, we nip em all.
