I'm so sick of the political bullshit on this issue - from ALL sides... it won't ever happen but I'd like to actually see something more *balanced* than the 2 choices between the Religious Reich or the liberal ass kissers... it's all too extreme IMHO and I don't see any better choices coming down the road for the next election either.
If we're bitching about what our tax dollars are spent on though, I could give you quite a list... Smokers? I'm sorry but they are the LEAST of our problems...
One thing has been proven by this exercize if nothing else... tobacco will never be outlawed in this country... our government couldn't survive without all those taxes they make off it... just look @ the figures for INTERNET SALES alone - and imagine how much they make from all those local sales @ the corner market... BILLIONS and BILLIONS of dollars in taxes... this is BIG business for the government... it will never go away...
