airbrushing smokers

When the control freaks are airbrushing out the cigars and cigarettes from old photographs and films and drawing up lists of books to ban or burn when they achieve total power and can rewrite history to their liking, Segolene believes it is not just smokers who should be worried.

“Enjoy the Internet whilst it lasts," sighs Segolene. "What's normal and abnormal today is sure as hell going to be abnormal and normal tomorrow if we allow these control freaks to get away with it much longer."

"It's happened before in history and it will happen again if too few sane people stand by and allow the control freaks open slather on our freedoms."

"Remember when you could drive a car without buckling up and when you could ride a motorbike without a helmet and feel the wind in you hair? When you could fish without a licence? When you could expect same-sex wards in hospitals? When you could smack a naughty kid? When you could fell a tree, light a fire, party all night, smoke a cigarette in a bar and do a million other quite normal things without the Spanish Inquisitors descending upon you?"

"They -- the Spanish Inquisitors -- say it's for your good, or for the good of society, but we all know whose good it is for," says Segolene. "Society managed just fine without all of these abnormal laws, people tolerated each other and Darwin's Law operated just as it was supposed to. These guys are just control freaks, using these laws to justify their jobs and existence in the same way that the old religious leaders once did."

"At what point will the masses tip? Will routine cavity searches at airports do the trick? How about routine house searches at 3am? Or routine drug testing and weigh-ins at work or school? Or compulsory registration and rationing to buy alcohol, cigarettes, hamburgers, twinkies, gas or whatever? Or compulsory sterilization for hereditary diseases? Or carbon footprint naming and shaming? Or prohibition on pets? We aready tolerate public screening of court cases, how about public screening of toilet use and
handwashing -- all in the public good, of course?"

"Muslims aren't out to get us, passive smoking won't kill us, there are more paedophiles at home than at public parks, climate change has been going on since time immemorial and the sky isn't falling," says Segoline. "If we allow ourselves to be seduced by any more mass fear-mongering our grandchildren will be forced to live in a time worse than the Dark Ages.”

“What's more, they will be deprived of knowing what life was once like before their ancestors (us) allowed the control freaks to take charge and airbrush out of history everything that disagrees with their peculiar mindset."
