February 27 - Mass Murder In Wisconsin - The Wisconsin Tobacco Control Board announced 1,200 people are murdered in the state each year by smokers. Despite knowing the precise number of homicides, the Control Board, doesn't have any names to attach to the victims. To aid in their detective work the Control Board, along with the American Cancer Society and Wisconsin's Department of Public Health, are seeking help from the citizens to match the deaths with real people. Undoubtedly when all 1,200 are identified, the Control Board will turn the information over to law enforcements so the perpetrators can be brought to justice.
For some odd reason, although the Control Board knows 1,200 people will be murdered each year, the state government still continues to allow tobacco not only to be smoked but also to be sold and taxed. Perhaps that highly ambivalent position is due to the fact that the Control Board is funded exclusively by tobacco money. The American Cancer Society would also go broke if the state outlawed tobacco.
Archie Anderson, FORCES - Minnesota, has sent the following to the governor of Wisconsin:
Governor Scott McCallum:
If the State of Wisconsin allows 1200 murders to go unpunished the State is an accessory. The Governor should be calling for a complete ban on the sales of all tobacco products and confiscation of the products to be held as evidence in the murders of 1200 non smokers and name the defendants to be charged in the crime............... OR, make a public statement describing the press releases by the Wisconsin Department of Health and the American Cancer Society as political dogma and not endorsed by the state of Wisconsin.
Five citizens were killed with exposure to anthrax and our country became paralyzed. now 1200 Wisconsin residents killed with second hand smoke and the state keeps right on selling the anthrax, or, excuse me, the deadly tobacco? I don't know about the rest of you but I am becoming very sensitive to the accusations coming from the serfdomites.
Expect the next press release from the Control Board to call for the banning of tobacco in Wisconsin. Yeah,Right.
