There are ads running on the TV and in magazines & newspapers about the
200th anniversary of the Bill of Rights. These ads are awe inspiring in
their statement that although we have had the Bill of Rights all these
years, we must strive everyday to protect those freedoms granted to us in
those few written pages. These freedoms are the basis of everything we call
"American" included the supposed "American Dream". At the end of these ads,
while you are wiping the tear from the corner of your eye, you notice that
the ads are paid for by Phillip Morris and R.J. Reynolds corporations.
	Well, this changes everything, doesn't it! They are using the Bill of
Rights to protect your freedom to kill yourself with cigarettes. That
certainly trivializes the importance of our guaranteed freedoms.
	It goes deeper than that for me. Phillip Morris and R.J. Reynolds are
the biggest contributors to Jesse Helms (other than Bank of America) in the
country. How does that make you feel about the ads now? Jesse Helms has set
the machine in motion to take away just about every freedom of self
expression and personal choice we have.
	It is very strange how we have allowed these people to use the flag,
the Constitution, and the Bill Of Rights to take away every thing they stand
for.
	They have to be stopped.
