Guest guest Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 In a recent study, which I thought I'd posted here, it was found that Art students had the worst quality of life after graduation and the highest mortality rate. Oddly, though, they didn't have the highest smoking, boozing, and drug use rates. Medical students held that title. When I pointed out to my eldest son, " You'd think they of all people would know the harm these things do, " he said, " Exactly. They're the ones who know better than anyone else how bad smoking is, so they do it the most. It's a death wish. They know how to harm themselves the most efficiently. " He's right of course. You know smoking cuts you short and you up badly before you die and keep doing it because inside somewhere you're courting death. it's that simple. And because of this, it's your choice and way past time to move on from this nonsense. Do as you will shall be the whole of the law. And hi Pat!
