! ANOTHER HEADS UP ! This evening, a Federal Judge in Fl.

ruled against plaintiffs of a Union bring suit ...

CHECK OUT what the Judge said... !!!!!!!

[from Yahoo about 8pm EST ]

after rejecting all of the plaintiffs' claims, the court concluded in its 16-page opinion that: ''The tobacco industry has, as of late, become the whipping-boy of American political
discourse. The fact that the tobacco industry has recently become very unpopular, however, is insufficient ground for this Court to overturn well-established common law rules and well-settled methods of statutory interpretation to permit recovery where recovery would
otherwise be barred. If courts were to ignore the law and permit recovery as a matter of course against an unpopular defendant for the sole reason that the defendant is unpopular, courts would have abandoned their constitutionally-mandated role of interpreting the law
and would have assumed the role of political institutions.''

I am buying,
