Tales from my youth

The legend of the gift of tobacco tells a story that long , long ago odd beings had come down the river somewhere near what might be upstate Ny now . These beings could kill unseen . They were tracked and killed in ambush and the dead bodies burnt and from that spot tobacco grew .

And tobacco continues to kill unseen to this day.

Is there nothing any of us can say that will not cause you to jump up and reinforce the Establishment Narrative?

Which kills more--pure tobacco, or the chemicals in Fire Safe cigarettes?

Yeah, jump up in the Indian's thread and diss sacred tobacco, because it's the Conventional Wisdom Thing to Do. Hell of a deal.

Have you no sense of humor?
Oyarde posts a story about tobacco being derived from mythical unseen killers and you think someone isn't going to make the obvious joke?

Have I ever advocated a government ban on tobacco products?

Get that chip off your shoulder and stop trying to take everything I say in the worst possible light.

Seems just recently I was telling one of my Grand daughters of The Beast of Bodmin Moor . So if you ever find yourself alone at night on the Moor in Cornwall be wary .

The Thunders are a clan of winged men who live in the heavens . They are spirit in form and can shape shift back and forth . They can kill an ordinary human with only an intent gaze . They can create powerful storms . The leader of the Clan is named Hinon. He is the oldest . While this pre dates modern Christianity by thousands of years you may see the resemblance to stories of Angels . These are also much older than Norse and Germanic tales of Thor .
