Dr Who Detective Philip Morris Hints At More Rediscovered Episodes

BigBadBus writes: In late 2013, Philip Morris announced that he had found 9 missing episodes of 1960s Dr.Who, which completed the 1968 story "Enemy of the World" and most of "The Web of Fear." He has now gone on record to talk about the only episode of these stories that he didn't find — namely part 3 of "Web of Fear" and teases of more episode finds to come. Episodes keep trickling out of the past, it seems; we've mentioned a few small finds in 2004 and 2011, too.

    Why in God's name is Philip Morris responsible for that???

    The people who choose to smoke are responsible for that. And, the people who choose to smoke are responsible for any second-hand smoke deaths too (though some responsibility falls on people who choose to stick around places where there is second-hand smoke).

    The tobacco farmer is just earning a living by responding to demand. If one company stopped selling cigs, some other company would arise to do so, because people choose to pay!

    In case this isn't clear....

    People who drive recklessly are responsible for the accidents they cause, not the car makers.
    People who get drunk are responsible for the harm they cause while drunk, not the alcohol maker.
    People who use weapons (of any kind) to kill people are responsible for the deaths they cause, not the weapon maker.

    Do you see the pattern here? You are responsible for what you choose to do!

    Stop trying to pass the blame on to people who did not make those bad choices.
