Dinocrat makes a great point.
How about this: the next time your friends start in with the Ben Franklin quote and their airy-fairy theoretical concerns about the loss of liberty, light a cigarette and see what happens.
Aptly put.

Try running a conservative newspaper at your local university...

Dave: eat at McDonald's a lot and your arteries will get clogged. There's a million and one ways in which we can off ourselves over time. It's not the government's business to tell us how to live.

There need to be some corollaries to Godwins law including the Ben Franklin quote, references to '1984' such as 'Orwellian doublespeak' and 'Lord of the Flies'.

You get cancer from lighting a cigarette? And I thought you had to smoke a lot of them.
