You have mutated the original meme and I think I now like it
much more.
I keep on asking myself
"If I had a couple of weeks to go, would I do it?"
I know about all our knee jerk reactions to say never
kill but still I wonder.
If this meme gets circulated I think it might eventually cause a
killing. Perhaps I should think things through more carefully, but then
this is what I am doing here.

Definately not. But if it serves as a deterent for others to
work for the tabacco mind virus then might it still not be on balance a
virtuous thing? (I am again trying to model what conclusions a victim
might come to)

Wow thanks. I have downloaded a mountain of stuff from this
sight, all of which I will be reading as soon as I get back. Especially
the stuff on economics which I hope will give me some much needed
perspectives so I can start ranting about how it is used to keep the
elite in luxury as they shit ever more furiously on the workers while
still managing to make them feel giulty for not pulling their weight.
I feel an end in sight to my rantings on tabacco plcs (for now)
but I would love to know if anyone out there would run through some of
the arguments with any of their friends if their friend ever fell victim
to ciggy induced pending death. Or for that matter is there anyone who
thinks they might do it if they had only a couple of weeks to live?
Personally I just dont think I have got the balls.
