The zealous rant of Jackson's (and it *is* a rant, because he's pleading from a moral low point) jumps around various defensive statements and citations of obscure studies, but they all circle back to the position that "they" (the anti-smokers/Jews) are simply out to get "us" (the smoking advocates/holocaust deniers). I can understand his frustration, but the more he throws around figures and bemoans our lost civil liberties, the deeper he digs what I see as a losing argument: placing personal destructive behaviors ahead of public health. ...Maybe it's a bit closer to defender of the public's right to own assault rifles. It's a shame, too, because his first batch of albums are really, really great and I highly recommend them. I, for one, feel the “holocaust denier” view is apt.

Being next to a smoker at a restaurant ruins your meal but wont kill you. But being around them constantly in your place of work is a a real fucker. I like to imagine it as farting in someones face. Thats the equivalent of blowing smoke if someone's face. Farting next to someone eating is pretty bad too. Sadly you can't see a fart :) Thats my rant anyway Hey Bob Campbell,

Everyone agrees that primary smoking is deadly to the smoker now, but the evidence seems inconclusive still on second-hand smoke. I'll not be putting that to the test anytime soon, but I guess if there is a lack of hard evidence then people should tone down their arguments. Science only works when you accept all the evidence, not just the stuff that supoorts your specific argument.

One day in the early 90's I was working in a record store in the French Quarter in New Orleans. Joe Jackson bought a used vinyl copy of his Big World album (also cool artwork)from me. I tried to engage him in a converation, but he was a dick. Oh, well. I love Joe’s first half-dozen albums.

But I couldn't think of a better example? Suggestions? hey Pete

That is ad hominem. Pete (who remembers buying that album) I agree with the comment about his looks but you can’t go from being anti-anti smoking to holocaust denial. That is ad hominem.
