IMAGINE PEACE
As a key figure of a controversial and highly influential rock band, it was ironically his outspokenness regarding world peace that earned him attention as an enemy of the United States. After the band split he never played for money again but performed at several rallies and events for his cause. He saw the absurdity of the media’s obsession with his personal life and used the coverage to promote his belief that peace was obtainable, if we wanted it. The choice is within each one of us.
MLK
He shared with us his dream for equality. His fire and eloquence would electrify a nation. As one of the key figures in the civil rights movement, he worked to end the racial injustice seen in America by peaceful means. His work earned him the Nobel peace prize by the age of 35 and, although his murder prevented him from seeing his “promise land” realized, his words still ring true today: “We must all live together as brothers or perish together as fools.”

We thought we’d try what has to be the best marketing scheme ever for this one. Sure it’s cool for Noir films but what other product can warn that it’s use can cause cancer, impotence, bad teeth, AND have people still insist that it’s a great idea. Also you may or may not be aware that some ingredients in cigarettes can also be found in other great products like hair remover, rat poison, pee, and rocket fuel. Yum! Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em.

Upon leaving his second term, President Eisenhower left his people with a warning. Acknowledging the need for the vast army he had helped create, he also warned of the power of the “Industrial Military complex.” He warned that war was profitable and that the temptation to misuse power or be influenced by this machine would be great. He asked for our vigilance.
