Dick Puddlecote has a dream

British American Tobacco Germany has launched an initiative entitled United Dreams of Europe.

Predictably it has been hijacked by anti-smokers who have posted a raft of comments including the following:

• I dream of a Europe where my girls aren't surrounded by an easily accessible, legally available, addictive, carcinogenic drug.

• I dream of a Europe where children are not exposed to harmful chemicals as a result of those around them.

• I dream of a Europe with smoke free streets, cancer free lungs and where people make informed choices based on truth, not advertising.

• I dream everyone associated with the tobacco industry would die the same painful death as the evil they inflict on children.

• I dream of a tobacco free Europe.

And so on.

H/T Dick Puddlecote who commented on this last night and and has posted his own 'dream':

My European dream is for a time where hideous interventionists have realised that their way of living doesn't suit all, and that, you know, we would all like to be left to decide our own way of navigating our way through life without being dictated to by people who are arrogant enough to think they know best how we should live. It's a long shot, I know, but one day they may just shut the hell up. We can but hope.

The phrase 'raving lunatics' comes to mind in respect of many of the comments which are deliberately aimed at the tobacco company element.
I have posted a dream asking for an end to totalitarian tendencies, dismissal of the WHO quacks, a reinstatement of Science, freedom to look after your children and your health as you wish, an end to persecution of people who enjoy tobacco, alcohol and food, and tolerance between individuals and co-operation between individual nations.

Just about covers everything, really.
