Fresh Air - on the radio - voting

[Igor Loving]

Living has nothing to do with privilage at all. Living is controled by 
instinct. There are biological laws that apply. Man can not for example 
ignore the law of gravitation or disobey the law of gavity. aif you leave 
him unsupported in air he will fall like a stone. As an organism, he is 
subjected to various biological laws  which he can not disobey any more than 
any other animal can. He breaths, he sleeps and eats. Man also reproduces by 
an instinct.

There is a Law or Rule about Right and Wrong which used to be called the Law 
of nature. Today, when you sepak of the "laws of nature" we mean chemistry 
and physics and such. But the Greeks called the Law of Nature the Law of 
Human Nature. That was an idea that everyone really knew what was right and 
wrong. The truth is that we do believe in what is decent behavior but we 
don't seem to be able to abide by it. Moral law could actually be a herd 
instinct. Each herd has its own set. Each group is haunted by  the idea that 
they ought to behave in a certain way, be moral but infact they don't.

So if it is known that smoking is bad and it is known why do people smoke? 
Is tobacco that good? I really doubt it. As a reformed smoker I wouldn't 
cross the street for a cigarette or pay a dime for a joint. I would take a 
toke for free but that doesn't count. And I would smoke a Cuban cigar if 
someone gave me one. Gave being the operative word. A Cuban cigar is 
possibly a reason to smoke. A package of Delicados or Faros is a good reason 
to quit. In fact I suggest that to quit smoking everyone smoke Delicados or 
Simbas. Simbas were the brand that got me to quit. I always looked  for the 
worst cigarette available and the one with no filter.  Of course Kents might 
have made the worst list and I know Wings did.

So, Light up a Lucky;
it's light up time;
be happy smoke Lucky;
it's light up time,
for the taste that you like,
light up a Lucky Strike,
it's light up time.
LSMFT means fine tobbaco.
