There are worse things than dying
There is another vital aspect of preventive health care that many health care professionals and bureaucrats simply refuse to accept: Some of us can’t be helped.
A few years ago, I heard a highly educated and successful author maintain that a life without cigarettes and copious amounts of alcohol is a life not worth living. There exists no warning label, no bone-chilling study, no crafty public service announcement that is going to separate me from my sour cream- and cheese-infested burrito.
At this point, anyone who doesn’t comprehend that french fries aren’t a suitable vegetable substitute will not be aided by preventive health care—unless it includes the cost of a cerebral transplant.
Actually, I’d prefer the non-surgical implantation of a size 12 brogan into the rectum of busybodies and meddlers — by someone who isn’t so afraid of dying that he refuses to live, and spreads the misery around by preventing everyone else from doing so.

Politicians don't tax this stuff out wanting people to quit smoking. On the contrary, they want MORE smokers around so the politicians get more money to use to control the private sector.
Personally,I'm waiting for resistance to the Obama wave to go viral and topple these socialist assholes like the Iranian morons and, obviously, the Soviet Union. Seems we'll need some rallying point. My personal starting point is the unsung hero of the Revolutionary War, John Stark. He was the one who gave my state its motto: "Live Free or Die." The rest of the quote went "death is not the greatest of evils."
We are not being led by intelligent people. They have crippled their intellects by believing in junk science.
