Random realizations

[opusculus]

Huh! I just realized that the reason my father will deny that secondhand smoke could possibly have any effects whatsoever to his dying day is because his whole justification for smoking cigars is that he doesn't inhale when he smokes, so it's not actually bad for him. I mean, it's still a stupid and denial-filled rationalization. But at least there's a half-assed attempt at internal logic there.
