Perfect explanation
Blah blah tobacco funding. But we have a great line which so perfectly encompasses this attitude.
"This is not a hard philosophical question," said David Kessler, dean of UC San Francisco School of Medicine and a former commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration and chief witness in the federal investigation of Philip Morris. "There is an ongoing criminal enterprise. The question is do you want to be a part of it." It's so perfect because it's so exactly wrong. The question is not "do you want to be part of it?" It's "Do I want to let you be part of it?" We saw it with the San Francisco ROTC travesty, too. For these folks, "freedom" is nothing more than "room for error."
