Dude, I thought you gave it up last year. Ah well, the pulls of "sin-tax" and all of it's trappings. Yeah, I can believe it. Gas is going up here too. While we're beefing about Governmental over-reaching, the so-called Supreme Court in this country ruled to inact Congress' "one strike and yer out" anti-"drug" cheap sports metaphor with regard to public housing. | |||||

The price of cigarettes will continue to rise in order for the tobacco companies to cover the costs of the lawsuits that their customers (smokers) will file against them after their health fails. As far as gasoline prices: They have been rising steadily lately throughout the world. Don't be surprised if politicians increase taxes on alcohol products once again.

#1, i believe it's the taxes on the cigarettes that are driving the prices up, not the costs of litigation for the cigarette companies. #2, it's spelled "segue." #3, gasoline prices fluctuate a lot, there's no real visible long-term trend yet. #4, care to back up the alcohol taxation horror story or was that baseless? #5, Colorado vs. Philadelphia. -bitter quik | |||||

B-TRAIN, I just stand near the roulette table holding a couple chips and whenever the girl comes by I plop a chip down and ask for a drink. Cheaper and more entertaining. You drink for free while watching OTHER people lose money! Plus the occasional bet on 23 keeps things exciting enough. ;)) | |||||
