A collection of thoughts and asides about life. And if I think of anything that needs to be mocked, it will show up here.
"If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way."
--Bertrand Russell
I'm confused. The Feds want to raise the cigarette tax to $1 per pack to fund children's health. But if the tax works as planned, everyone will quit smoking. So who will pay the tax? The Tobacco companies? How will they get revenue to pay the tax, since no one is purchasing their product? Or, will the government require every US citizen to buy a pack of smokes a month?
