Until a few days ago, I smoked steadily for the past 18 years... at a pack a day, that represents about 6570 packs... 131,400 or so nails in my coffin, at a lifetime cost of around $25,000. If I have cancer as a result, the cost to myself, family and society will be much higher. Now that I am working through withdrawal from addiction to smoking, it is a good time to hate all those who are responsible for the fact anyone in my lifetime has smoked at all, and that over the next 100 years a billion people will die as a result. Hate them all... spit on their graves... from Jesse Helms [1] ("Washington's Number One Guardian of the Health of the Cigarette Industry") to the Marlboro Man [2] (several, actually, who died of cancer) and so many potentially good farmers made wretched in government subsidy [3] and greed by evil industry, politics and lawyers. The only real winners from that misfortune are the greatest losers in NEO, Jones Day, who make ungodly money to kill smokers with strategies like [4]: "The key defense strategy in smoking and health litigation is (and must be) to try the plaintiff."
Above is my last butt in the Church of Jones Day... the last tar and nicotine I'll be contaminating our sewers with - the last source of air pollution I'll let spew from my lips to your lungs. But that doesn't mean the change is easy - as I try now to write this I feel the physical and mental harm Jones Day has caused me. I'm achy and my skin is crawling and tingling... eyes watering... strange chemical taste in my mouth - my mind is darting and wandering - I'm jumpy and feel a need to get up and move around, while I'm also exhausted and need to go to sleep... very strange. So I wonder how long this will last - when I'll feel "normal" for the first time since college, and my youth... how much of the life Jones Day stole from me I will recover.
To help me kick-out of the Jones Day death-spiral, to get my mind off losing my mind, I'm focusing my attention and creative energy on exploring the evil of Jones Day, by analyzing the immense harm the individuals of Jones Day cause innocent people all day, every day, over in that ugly office tower at "North Point"... 301 Lakeside Avenue - on the freeway out of Cleveland, rather than in the heart - hell, if you try to photograph in front of their building you get attacked by their security guards [5]... these are very easy people to hate.
So long as I feel the evil of Jones Day leaching from my body, or think of them screwing the people of my community, I shall expand upon why we as a community should hate the people of Jones Day [6], today. Perhaps a few good people there will feel the hatred and find something better to do with their lives, and their souls will be saved.
