In the essay Revenge of the Mouthbreathers, June Thunderstorm starts off with a very aggressive tone. Thunderstorm's aggressiveness is targeted towards the government. She is arguing that government anti smoking legislation is not or our well being, but "Foster class hatred, to keep us looking for the enemy in each other instead of those who are making a killing off cigarettes and anti smoking campaigns alike".
Thunderstorm takes a more of a revengeful turn in her conclusion. I feel the author went overboard when she started talking about smoking near young children and blowing smoke in peoples faces. Saying statements like those puts her the position of the bad guy not the people she's arguing against(government/higher ups).
