To Gooddoctor -
I'm inclined to interpret your reaction as a compliment to my selection of images of smokers, and my presentation of them, so thank you again! 
There is a passage in The Vampire Lestat by Anne Rice that explains that it has always been the tradition among vampires to only select the most physically beautiful mortals upon which to bestow "The Dark Gift"..."to maximize the insult to God."
I suppose that there is something of this idea (although to a much less spiritually hyperbolic degree...LOL...) in my image selections... 
To Mick, my Friend -
Thank you; you are very kind.
I love deconstruction. I love exploring patterns. I love discovering commonalities. I love understanding. I love truth. I love honesty. I love to entertain.
I have no interest in manipulation. I have no interest in controlling others. I have no interest in having power over anyone other than myself.
I love the idea of helping others to have more power over themselves, simply because it's Good Karma and Good Juju.
If I seem probative, it is only because I am either curious to learn (without any specific agenda), or because I believe that there might be something that I've found in considering my own experiences that someone else might find value in discovering for themselves.
I come in pieces...errr...Peace.
