*WARNING* Non-theatre post about nothing
This is one of those things that drives me nuts... I was lieing in bed last night trying to get to sleep, and not having much luck... I caught an ad for one of those "walk against cause X" adds, where they are trying to raise money for what isusually a good cause... This one however got under my skin as just being wrong... It is to raise money to help women stop smoking... Just women... Ok, what the hell is that about?... This isn't something that only effects women... I have a hard time beleaveing that women have a harder time stopping smokeing than men do... Are the techniques for quitting so much different between the sexes?... Ok how about this, just stop sucking in the smokes... Yea, I know its an addiction... I've watched people try to quit, and some do, some don't... I never once got any sence that the men were doing any better than the women... Why do people decide to chop up the funding for something that should be universal?... This concept has always bugged me... Why do we feel the need to break up groups into their component race/sex/religion?... Why is there the Jewish Veterens of Foreign Wars?... Was it some special war that they fought that the other vets didn't?... (I'm not picking on the JVFW here folks, they're just the group that has always confused me the most and therefor popped into my mind first...) If someone has some simple, sensible explanation, I'm willing to listen to it... Hell I'll accept a complex sensible reason... Just give me something...
Ok... Rant off...
