"In the Hearts of Conspiring Men"

An interesting statement at the end of the article:

"Governments who are responsible for the health and safety of their citizens take very small steps."

I'm still searching my own mind on this matter. A large part of me rallies to the efforts to limit the advertising and promotion of these harmful products. The other part struggles with what part legislation should play in the matter.

Here's a great article by Mark E. Peterson talking about possible approaches to making a stand in the right way on this and other issues:

"Where do We Stand?"

Here's a brief quote from it:

"The time has come when we must take a far more firm and positive stand than ever before. We must identify illicit sex, pornography, filthy speech, and the use of liquor, tobacco, marijuana, and worse drugs as enemies of God and enemies to ourselves.

We must see in all of them the fiery darts of the devil.

We must bolster our spiritual fortifications, raise the shield which God has given us, and wield the sword of righteousness and faith as all God’s servants should."
