Jeeeez, Dramnek_Ulk, what a complete pantload!!!! People not being able to make good decisions regarding long term problems doesn't have a bleeping damn thing to do with Capitalism. People don't need capitalism, communism, or any other kind of "ism" to make bad decisions. (Mind you, I don't smoke and I have never smoked, and I think that it's a disgusting habit.) I suppose that in your perfect world, the all-knowing ****ing government would protect the people from their bad decisions.
