This poem by Dylan Thomas was read at my grandfather's funeral.

And Death Shall Have No Dominion
(by Dylan Thomas)

And death shall have no dominion.
Dead men naked they shall be one
With the man in the wind and the west moon;
When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone,
They shall have stars at elbow and foot;
Though they go mad they shall be sane,
Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again;
Though lovers be lost love shall not;
And death shall have no dominion.

And death shall have no dominion.
Under the windings of the sea
They lying long shall not die windily;
Twisting on racks when sinews give way,
Strapped to a wheel, yet they shall not break;
Faith in their hands shall snap in two,
And the unicorn evils run them through;
Split all ends up they shan't crack;
And death shall have no dominion.

And death shall have no dominion.
No more may gulls cry at their ears
Or waves break loud on the seashores;
Where blew a flower may a flower no more
Lift its head to the blows of the rain;
Though they be mad and dead as nails,
Heads of the characters hammer through daisies;
Break in the sun till the sun breaks down,
And death shall have no dominion.

[qThere are good alternate products available for almost any of Philip Morris' food products. If you're lucky, there's a Trader Joe's somewhere near you. They're a relatively small chain with a great selection of cheeses, nuts, wines and other great food products, all at great prices. [/i] >>


Trader Joe's has some of the nastiest products on the market. And all their sweets are "fat-free" and stuff that doesn't make them sweet anymore



<< Like me, WW is old enough that she and many of her friends were teenagers before the tobacco companies were forced to put any warnings on their products. I remember cigarette ads claiming that more doctors preferred one brand over another. The tobacco companies have known for over fifty years that tobacco is both addictive and carcinogenic. Yet, I personally watched those lying asshole execs raise their hands before Congress and lie about it. >>


If a doctor told you that jumping off a bridge would make you younger and more appealing, would you jump of a bridge? Point being, you are the only person who is forcing you to smoke. You make your own decisions, if you choose to smoke up the cancer sticks by "commercial recommendation" then so be it, but when you die younger of a lung cancer, you can't blame anyone but yourself.



<< I think every tobacco exec for the last fifty years should be tried for Crimes Against Humanity. >>


The same could be said for execs of Gun companies and cars.

And to Wombat Woman, I sorry for your loss. I feel sorry for you because of a good friend that you have lost, but I in no way feel sorry for your friend. She knew what she was doing when she started smoking.
