Dennis Prager: Would you rather your teenager smoke or cheat?
Peggy Noonan: Them
Emmett Tyrrell: The liberation of smoking
Vittorio Messori: Tobacco
He was quite intelligent about economics or architecture; but his moral sense seemed to have entirely disappeared. He really thought it rather wicked to smoke. He had "no standard of abstract right or wrong"; in him it was not merely moribund; it was apparently dead. But anyhow, that is the point and that is the test. Nobody who has an abstract standard of right and wrong can possibly think it wrong to smoke a cigar.Posted by billw at July 17, 2003 06:36 PM
Just keep this in mind when you see a snapshot of one of your daughters smoking a cigar on the occassion of her 21st birthday. (I know it's helping me :) )
