Tobacco and Alchohol Advertising

So over the past few years I have seen them ban tobacco advertising more and more, until you can't see it anywhere now, not even a pack behind the counter at the convenience store! They have even talked about banning all flavored tobacco cause it may draw kids to smoke. Then, driving the other day on Memorial Drive I see the Calgary C Train fly past me, with an ENTIRE train car painted with a massive Bud Lime Beer add, the entire thing was covered front to back! Made me shake my head, how many people die directly or indirectly from alcohol every minute of the day, how much abuse or pain does it causes to society! How many fights or torturous actions take place under the influence of it??? How many dollars of our health care get wasted trying to deal with all the levels of health that alcohol use, consumption or association can cause?! And then it's flavored! haha To make it more appealing to kids I guess, with large adds depicting how cool it is!

Why would we make one thing so evil but the other Ok?

The alcohol companies must be lining some politicians pockets more then the tobacco companies, that's my guess....

UltraSound Dangers II

Here is something I found in Wiki:

"A 2006 study on mice exposed to ultrasound showed neurological changes in the exposed fetuses. Some of the rodent brain cells failed to migrate to their proper position and remained scattered in incorrect parts of the brain."

They even say "However, no randomized controlled trials have been undertaken to test the safety of the technology" so they haven't even done proper testing yet... But yet everyone is getting them done, at all stages of pregnancy....

Messed up world we live in people...
