Old World Economy of Tobacco
THE E-CON-OF-ME by the Bush White House
In recent statements George Walker Bush said, he understood the importance of an economy in the USA. He believes his father was defeated in his second term by Former President Bill Clinton because of the poor performance of the American Economy. In saying that what this president has done is 'actively' pursue the private industry in this nation allowing government to befriend them even in the face of products that are proven deadly.
It's amazing to me the extent human economies are based in products grossly "W"rong for them such as tobacco, alcohol and fossil fuels. Therefore, realizing Bush is a very poor performer when it comes to 'inventiveness' and/or supporting new technologies such as Genetic Medicine it is no surprise he lends government support to expanding the products this society has fought to eliminate from it's venue of economic PURPOSE and benevolence.
Tobacco is a huge detriment to anyone's health spawning lung and heart disease of all kinds including but not exclusively cancers. Other lung disorders although not as lethal as lung cancer causes reduction in longevity and poor health within that longevity. What these products produce in 'economy' to any country is taken away by increased disease in society and medical costs but in Bush's Economy, medical 'economics' are a return on the dollar as well, so let lung cancer abound.
One of the METHODOLOGIES of the Bush White House is to bolster economic venues of constituency through directives by the FCC. In other words, this White House believes in equity for all, good or bad, but one will never hear Peace or Global Warming spill from the lips of George Walker Bush. But, regardless, if one pays attention it's easy to 'pick up' on a trend in verbiage in the media as related to news items.
There was a recent day when I was surfing through the channels on the television when I ran across an incredible 'trend' across many channels. The WORD 'cigarette' was everywhere. I first listened to Imus in the Morning on MSNBC and he played a tune sung by a female artist called 'Cigarette.' Then and in no surprise to me I flipped through station after station and there was, you guessed it, the word 'cigarette' in one form or another. On a movie channel, the picture was "My Friend Flicka." What does that have to do with 'cigarette?' Kenny's cantankerous horse that threw him from his saddle was named, you guessed it again, 'Cigarette.' The 'exposure' was happening almost simultaneously across most if not all the stations on the television.
It's called subliminal advertising and if I am not mistaken it was made illegal some years ago, but, I could be wrong about that. At any rate, when a phenomina such as this 'strikes' it is all too clear as to what 'goes on.' Is it an industry placing money in the pockets of people to bolster their business? Maybe.
But.
If that were the case then why when verbiage indicting Saudi Arabia in unfriendly gestures toward ethnic minorities such as the Shia would the game show "Jeopardy" the NEXT DAY have an entire section of their game board DEDICATED to 'Arabian Horses' and subsequent questions regarding areas involving Arabia? It doesn't matter the fact these are taped episodes. The point is there is such pervasive focus on Bush's political 'language/diretive' in the media that counteracts any opposition to them.
Hm?
Coincidence?
Nah.
Coincidence happens occassionally and between maybe two entities engaged in the same subject/activity. But, all too likely the FCC is using their Bush Clout to put out a diretive to bolster business of constituencies at any cost to the USA including their health. They must have a 'Word of the Day' thing going on in addition to some very bad ideas about maintaining an industry that provides a deadly product by ALLOWING higher levels of nicotine in their cigarettes and ALLOWING cigarettes to burn longer through chemical manipulation to increase the amount of nicotine of a smoker to INSURE the industry has longevity in their consumer base.
Who cares about the consumer that will ultimately end up with some kind of cancer or severe lung disease accompanied by heart disease? Besides the medical profession that administers 'attempts' at life saving care, the pharmaceutical companies that are doing research to 'come up' with treatments and early detection so the Tobacco Industry will not lose it's longevity customers so much as just have ill ones.
