difficult to melt those evil forces.

Actually it wasn't really as bad when she was in school as it is now.
The political agends of these "environmentalist" cults permiates all
levels of government. They take something like global warming, some
obscure endangered animal or second hand smoke and make a case that
far exceeds the science. Then they say if you can't swallow the whole
package, you are denying any of it ... much like any other
fundalmentalist who says you are a heathen if you don't agree with
100% of their dogma.

We had a simiar problem a few years ago when one of our little ones
came home crying because the teacher told the kid mom was going to die
soon because she smoked, then showed these 5th graders horrible
pictures of lung damage and such...

Well, it's true. Sure, someone can point to an exception like their granny
who smoked 2 packs of Camels a day and lived to be 98. But, exceptions mean
nothing in the face of overwhelming statistics.
