I agree, but disagree slightly. If it's not stupidity that makes us unable (or unwilling) to take responsibilities for our own actions, what is it? I mean... I could kind of understand why we (America) sued the tobacco companies... tobacco IS addictive and they DID advertise to children.. but at the same time, I was never fully in support of that. Each year, kids still continue to start smoking. It's not that they aren't being educated. They are. It's not that there isn't any anti-smoking advertisements. There are. It's, as far as I can tell, simple stupidity. Call it what you will but smoking is NOT cool and you don't look suave smoking. But suing corporate America because we've gotten too lazy to cook our own meals anymore and to go to a gym? That's a new height of pure.. pure.. I don't know what, exactly. I'll stick with stupidity.
