All I have to do when, from time to time, I want to start being angry about conditions or politics is open up an article such as this and read it. I like to go back and take a peek into where we come from. This is not an article directly related to smoking but a personal set of descriptions related to the human condition of the relatively recent (couple hundred years) past.

I think it a great distraction and food for thought. It might even make placing our own wants, desires, and NEEDS in perspective. What we have today is unprecedented and should be cherished and yet.......we are not satisfied. I read this account last night and went to bed sincerely GRATEFUL. My troubles are few and damn sure nothing to smoke about!
Imagine watching your loved ones in dying in the belly of a ship crossing the Atlantic and then having to throw them overboard only to arrive in the NEW WORLD to become little more than a slave. Incredible! I wonder if the collective unconscious remembers?
Well then....work doesn't seem so bad.......but the prospects of the loss of FREEDOM is intolerable!
Have a GREAT SMOKE FREE DAY! CHOOSE FREEDOM!
