OK, I Give Up Again! Why even Go to even University? Some don’t like to go to Seminary thinking they will end up in Semitary and finally Cemetery. I gave it one more shot. I think, hey, I have been building a case of persuasion, here in Oakland, and speaking out against it publicly in many places, I can even reach by bus.

Perhaps even using this blog as a reference.
Low and behold, after finding resources in the Kaplan Library and on the Internet I find myself contradicting myself. Who should I believe is a reliable resource? It is Kaplan? Is it Wikipedia? Is it some website? And, I don't know who those people are and if they are really who they claim to be? Is it the government? I am stuck. I don't know who to believe anymore. After I had a persuasive argument for why I should continue to smoke, using myself as a guinea pig, like doctors have been using me for years, Huh?
After finding out that nicotine and caffeine are in the same fiend family and are supposed to addict me? After, the governments decided to remove nicotine from cigarettes Because, So!

It has gotten to the point where I can’t do research, without contradicting myself using past and current reliable references, what ever a reliable resource is supposed to mean today. I end up GIGO at some point in my research when I am supposed to be a reliable resource. Instead I have to change horses in the middle of the stream and report the fallacies of the facts I found.
