Wow, now that is a can of worms! I am not sure, though, should we acknowledge popcorn and call it even?

Aren't there some wealthy tribes of Native Americans that could cough up some reparations for tricking us into
using tobacco? The Peace Pipe indeed!

That's priceless. A perfect example of the silliness of trying to right historic disservices.

An expression of regret might be nice, though.
