William Levinson made a very good speech about the responsibility of the tobbacco companys who cause so much sickness and death and do nothing to pay their way. And the growers get a subsidy from the US government, which comes out of our taxes, for growing the deadly stuff! It really galls me that I am paying twice for this, 1)I help pay for the medicaid and 2) I helped pay for the subsidy that caused the problem in the first place. We aught to make an issue of the tobbacco subsidy at least. ---Milo Milo V. Anderson Box 417 Angwin, CA 94508 VOICE 707 965-2508 EMAIL [log in to unmask]
