Clearly nicotine is still calling me.

I enjoyed Rama Dey's post on cockroaches. It is at
http://open.salon.com/blog/traveller1/2009/11/12/cockroaches_use_piss_to_survive


I was relieved more than anything else. I mean no one thinks of the cockroach like he is any of God's creatures.

From what I understood, it is like me, or any friend or family member- I mean seriously it is just a scavenger survivor in one- and I could admire that.

Now that I have not smoked from 7/11, I am missing the morning cigarette.

So I want to know if there is any write up which says tobacco is also like any other herb. I am looking for an argument to smoke. Rama di? Mohna cannot be counted on for this one- maybe Jes?

If it is really bad and the cockroach is just a survivor that feeds on piss, and if tobacco is really bad for humans ( provided there is no scientific counterargument presented by Jes or Rama why are we not directing all piss to around tobacco fields and let's see if the cockroach shifts there.

Publicising this cohabitation could combat the tobacco consumption?

Would people smoke if they knew the piss fed cockroach was being grown just across where this stuff in their mouth came from?

Maybe they still would- there is no accounting for tastes. I would not mind that at this moment- I can say that.

And anyway, what does the cockroach do which is bad for humans?

If it eats away stuff, then maybe we should not have too much stuff hanging around? If we give it all away, we could do with smaller spaces, and anyway most of the stuff in my home has not been used for years.

I am here for six months, and I am not longing for any of what I left back home.

Why not piss in a place that that the piss is not available for them? Like on the earth? It would be better to take that lota and walk to a distant enough place. Of course in the cities that could mean a long walk. So maybe we'd then not build concetrated?

I can see I am not going anywhere really. So let me stop.

I have quit smoking because Arjun has. That's it.
