Lets kill all the felons to save money on prison costs...same logic, right? Less prisoners in prison, therefore it'll cost less! Also, in the discussion part of the article, they are disclaiming a "related diseases" and the care involved in correcting those issues. They're just looking at people who smoke, vs people who don't smoke, where as smoke is the direct cause of the doctors visit. That's like saying people who have HIV aren't sick, because AIDS is a side effect and shouldn't be counted, therefore HIV isn't bad. Last edited by kannibul; 03-25-2010 at 09:41 PM. |
