Some Friends, Eh.

15. Wow, I am so sorry

You don't deserve that at all! FWIW, I've been lurking here for 20 years so, despite the low post count, been reading your posts for about as long as that and agree with whomever it was that said you're one of my favorites. Always learn something from reading what you write.

Pray tell, if simply falling prey to the marketing machine leveraged against as by the manufacturers of a legal product that was essentially shoved down our throats and lied about for decades like good little consumers (sigh) means we deserve to die a painful, horrid death, what, might I ask, do people who, um, I dunno, r@p3 kids and cover it up or try to overthrow the government or have masked goons shoot people in the face and disappear children deserve?

Whoever said that to you, I hope they have exactly the day - and the life - they deserve. We here at DU love you!

As an aside - I'm a lifelong smoker as were both my parents. They were the BEST people I ever knew and I hope I'm anything like them.
