Thanks for the article, What the politicians will eventually learn is that this tobacco agreement is more to do about peoples fear of where the government will strike next if they violate the laws of the land to get tobacco. An individual can at least make a choice to smoke or not to smoke who knows what wierd policy they will dream up on their own. They are out to get MO, MSFT, INTC and other American success stories. They want into our bedrooms, they dream up a tax code that continues to get more and more convoluted, they want to run healthcare and jam HMO's down our throats. They don't have the intestinal fortitude to make real changes in Social Security and Medicaid/Medicare, something that they should be doing. We start to be in a position to pay off part of the deficit and now as shown on NBC in the fleecing of America they are back to the old Highway pork politics. It is good to see that a coalition is building and I hope tobacco keeps fighting to the end because they are also fighting for the rights of the individual. Regards,
