Re: Billionaires Back Antismoking Effort
"Bill Gates and Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg announced on Wednesday that they would spend $500 million to stop people around the world from smoking."
I guess I would no longer have the right to choose. I'm sure you could spend $500 million dollars on something better, but what do I know.

Re: Billionaires Back Antismoking Effort
If they really want to "help people", why not use that 500 million to start a fund to help people whose homes are being foreclosed on?
 Why not donate it to children's hospitals? Ahhh, I get it. I think I see what's going on here. Reminds me of a quote. Fascism should rightly be called Corporatism, as it is the merger of corporate and government power.--Benito Mussolini |

Re: Billionaires Back Antismoking Effort
It's one thing to educate people on the dangers of smoking (which I am for), but making laws to ban it I do not agree with.

Seems America is forgetting WHY America is America. We were founded because of too many laws that strangled the free man. Be sure to volunteer to fight these laws, if you are given the opportunity.

Re: Billionaires Back Antismoking Effort
Based on that story, it would appear most if not all of that money will be directed at 3rd world countries, and aimed at abating cigarette smoking.

Re: Billionaires Back Antismoking Effort
I guess I am going to have donate billions to promote smoking.
Now all I need is the billions. Anyone know where I can find a few billions just laying around.

Re: Billionaires Back Antismoking Effort
If it would do any good I would dump any stock that I held in their companies but since I don't own any of their stock it doesn't matter anyway.
As for Bill "I have so much money I don't know how to throw it away" Gates, I don't even buy his products. I'm a Mac user.  |

Re: Billionaires Back Antismoking Effort
Oh, thank God! Thank God!!! I've been needing someone to tell me what to do with my smoking urges!
Now if I could just find someone to help me with my urges to throttle those that tell me what to do based on their own personal beliefs! What a load of  !
