This blog used to be about politics. Not so much anymore as I have worked through my fascination with that subject. It now seems appropriate that with a new president and the end of the Bush nightmare that I move on to new subjects that are more in line with my current interests. I may still occasionally express an opinion about political matters but for the most part I will be commenting on music, photography and personal observations. Thank you for reading.

dustbury.com: Ghouls gone wild

Apparently mentioning why a person died prematurely is in poor taste. Peter Jennings died of lung cancer... why?

(shrugs)

I give people of a certain generation a pass. At one time it was a matter of debate whether smoking caused people to die of lung cancer. That time is long past. People who start smoking now can't claim any ignorance. I think many younger people who smoke do so with the intention of quitting after a few years.

I'm used to the boneheaded defensiveness of smokers. I'm not about to try to talk people out of smoking, but I can understand why people become militant about making sure that people know the dangers of lighting up. After all, watching a person (or two, or three) die prematurely due to smoking-related cancer has a weird effect on people.
