Z, > Do you realize that medical emergencies account at least in part to over 50% of all bankruptcies?

What percentage of those emergencies were due to smoking? Drug use? Overweight? STDs? Much of this stuff is preventable. Funny how we ban trans fats, but we can't ban tobacco or alcohol, and many on this thread want to legalize pot.

> Don't buy into what? I live here, and that's the way things are. I'd like to see something done about it.

Don't buy into the status symbol crap. Don't buy into the latest trends or fashions. Don't feed the tabloid nonsense that litters our grocery stores. Don't push the whole class envy that only succeeds in making us feel sorry for ourselves.

So Paris Hilton is on the news all the time. Who puts her there in the spotlight? The media, because they know how many people are Googling her. Who makes her music "successful" while these talented guys can hardly sell out a room of 400:

By the way, whenever the "religious right" complains about open displays of sexuality on TV, especially of the homo kind, the mainstream media tells them to simply change the channel. That's what you should do as well. If you're sick of Paris Hilton, "change the channel."
