		<description><![CDATA[While intermittently glancing up at the Academy Awards show last night, noticed an immediately annoying commercial. The scene panned around a very messy bedroom, while the song &#8220;16 Going on 17&#8243; from the Sound of Music was playing.

My law professor said something today that resonated with me. He said:

You only possess the rights that you assert. 

In other words, liberty is no longer (if it ever truly was) the default in our society.

And in this ever-so-important battle, they&#8217;ve whipped out an interesting kind of artillery&#8230; saying that smoking, being a &#8220;slave to tobacco&#8221;, is like being forced to perform oral sex!
The slogan is bland enough: [...]]]></description>
