‘Safe cigarette’ claimed to cut cancer by 90% - Sunday Times - Times Online
Yeah, like that’s going to make a difference. Seriously, cigarettes does more harm than good yet it’s not getting banned. So, tell me something. They tell us that DDT is a possible carcinogen, and that got banned right away to the detriment of underdeveloped countries as they lost millions of people to malaria. What double standards developed nations have!
Ban smoking! I know about the economy argument. I somehow value my life more. And if the US can sustain the Iraq war, it can sustain a ban on smoking and the possible economical repercussions.

Let’s dance in style, lets dance for a while
Heaven can wait we’re only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you going to drop the bomb or not?Let us die young or let us live forever
We don’t have the power but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The music’s for the sad menCan you imagine when this race is won
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders we’re getting in tune
The music’s played by the mad menForever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever? Forever youngSome are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
Why don’t they stay youngIt’s so hard to get old without a cause
I don’t want to perish like a fading horse
Youth’s like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are foreverSo many adventures couldn’t happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
We let them come trueForever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever and everForever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
I heard this song on the O.C soundtrack and it made me think about my time so far. I know I am still young, but I can’t believe that I’m 22 already. A single line in this song stood out to me: Hoping for the best but expecting the worst. I also assume for the worst hoping to God the best happens. Something like hoping against hope that hope prevails.

Youths’ poverty, despair fuel violent unrest in France - The Boston Globe
I was wondering about the cause of the French riots over the last week. I just realized that they were poverty/unemployment driven concentrated primarily with the financially unsecure muslim youth. They are pulling the race card. I hope they realize that the civil unrest is not really helping their cause.
