Zeller's possible leanings on e-cigs in NY Times

“Upon this a question arises: whether it be better to be loved than feared or feared than loved? One should wish to be both, but, because it is difficult to unite them in one person, it is much safer to be feared than loved.”

"But when it is necessary for him to execute someone, he should do it only with proper justification and for manifest reason. But above all things he must keep his hands off the property of others, because men more quickly forget the death of their father than the loss of their patrimony.”
--Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli

Poor Zeller...

@Jman8 : unfortunately getting into politics is indeed inevitable. And that's because it's the government behind the whole debacle. How many ANTZ do you know that are not on government's payroll (salaries and/or grants)? The whole tobacco industry looks like a government run franchise. Wanna open shop? It's not any different than opening a McDo. Except it's the government that makes the rules and sells the licenses.

Don't disagree, but am also saying "we the people" (aka the government) are behind this. I'd elaborate on that point, but I feel I already have, being clear on what I mean when I say what I just said.

Well, one way or another, I think we're going to know fairly soon what Zeller's real intentions are.
