Circle the Wagons

Read this about Philip Morris and its manipulative efforts to create research. Further evidence that self interest and corporate profits trump the health and welfare of human beings. Stop giving this company your business. Take a stand. Companies like this need to know that what they are doing is evil. Now, those on the right will scream that I am going calling for good, hard working people to lose their jobs, but they are wrong. What I am calling for is a total and complete boycott of all companies, subsidiaries, and products owned or overseen by Philip Morris. Philip Morris runs: Kraft, Post, Miller Beer, Jell-O, Miracle Whip, Velveeta, Maxwell House, Oscar Mayer, Minute Rice, and Stove Top Stuffing. From now on, all are off-limits. Every time you buy these products, you are essentially giving money to a tobacco company to buy off either government or scientific officials who will state that cigerettes are not as harmful as they really are. You are paying this company to increase the chances of kiling you, your friends, and your children. Last straws are last straws; what will it take for you to learn about where your money goes; it doesn't just go into the pocket of the grocery store manager, it goes into the coffers of companies that have lied, bribed, and stone-walled their ways into making the practice of killing their clientele legal.
