Arguing On the Internet...

...Is like competing in the Special Olympics: Even if you win you're still retarded.

Even so, I think this is worth mentioning.

If you read the Health section of Google News you've probably seen articles about the Surgeon General stating things like "the debate is over" about the affects of second-hand smoke.

However some people are saying his report is ridiculous and based on "junk science".

I'm not gonna say I know one way or the other, but I think its important to take things with a grain of salt and not just roll over and believe something because the guv'ment says so.

I think we tend to forget that all governments are really just a collection of self-interested people after their own aims with a tragically tiny smattering of heroes actually in it for the people.
