Steve (and anyone else who wants to quit),
If you want to try to give up smoking, perhaps you could try what UnidentifiedMissus did? She went on to roll-your-owns. Since it took longer to get a smoke, it helped her cut down and it also saved money. Eventually it worked and she gave up. I went cold turkey. Good luck with it anyway. |

I smoked from about 14 yrs old, until 23 years ago when I had my last one.
For years I smoked Log Cabin tobacco, with Tally Ho papers. The real beauty of rolling your own is, well, a couple of things.
Log Cabin smells great, I love the smell of the tobacco even today.
When you know how to roll a smoke properly you can make one to keep burning, or to go out shortly after you stop puffing on it, for Ron.
People don't bother bludging smokes off you like they do with the tailor made.
I went cold turkey too, it's the only way I could do it. After a short time though you feel so much better you'll wonder why you ever started, well not why you started, but why you continued for so long. |

Is Racism a Mental Illness?
Yes
It can be a delusional symptom of psychotic disorders
Alvin F Poussaint, Professor of psychiatry
To continue perceiving extreme racism as normative and not pathologic is to lend it legitimacy. Clearly, anyone who scapegoats a whole group of people and seeks to eliminate them to resolve his or her internal conflicts meets criteria for a delusional disorder, a major psychiatric illness.
------------------------- ------------------------- -----
Racism is caused by fear
In some cases racism can generate such an enormous amount of anger that it can cause a war. The thing that causes this anger is mainly fear. Fear that the stranger will take your house, your job, your wife. You don’t know who this stranger is, and he doesn’t know you. To fight racism we have to get to know each other and learn more about each other’s cultures. We have got to share each other’s joys, but also learn that we often have the same problems and worries.
The Coniston massacre, which took place in 1928 on Coniston cattle station, Northern Territory, Australia, was the last known massacre of Indigenous Australians. People of the Warlpiri, Anmatyerre and Kaytetye groups were killed. The massacre occurred in revenge for the death of dingo hunter, Frederick Brooks, supposedly killed by Aborigines in August 1928 at a place now known as Yukurru, (also Brooks Soak).
Official records at the time stated that thirty-one people were killed. A member of the punitive party for the first few days and the then owner of Coniston station (Mr Randall Stafford) estimated that at least twice that number were killed. Some historians estimate that at least sixty Aboriginal men, women and children were killed; others estimate as many as 110 were killed |
