There is a man in this current government who, without beating about the bush, I wholly dislike. He seems to have little moral or ethical backbone. He has held posts in the previous “Blair” governments and holds a post in the current “Brown” government.
Whilst holding the post of Trade Secretary he was forced to resign in 1998 over a scandal involving a £337,000 loan to the then Paymaster General Geoffrey Robinson, who also resigned.
I was thinking stuff, as is my want from time to time, and came up with this little quandary.
Smoking. Everyone knows it’s bad for you. It’s bad for your health, causes various diseases and is likely to end your life before your true time is due. Smokers know this as well but they turn their heads away and continue to live their lives in the manner to which they have become accustomed, ignoring the obvious consequences of doing this. Stupid aren’t they?
But here comes the rub.
Living life the way we ALL do. Everyone knows it’s bad for the planet. We ALL know about global warming. We ALL know that in the not too distant future, and I do mean not too distant, the planet is going to turn around and kick back by destroying the human race, or at least most of it. We ALL know this but we turn our heads away and continue to live our lives in the manner to which we have become accustomed, ignoring the obvious consequences of doing this. Stupid aren’t we?
My quandary is; who is the more stupid? Smokers or everybody else?
