I just rec'd a refund check for $118.00 from the State of Illinois. Here is the reason listed: "This rebate was paid from the proceeds of the nationwide tobacco settlement." Anyone else get one of these? My plans are to give it back to the tobacco companies. I'm going to buy a box of CAO L'Anniversaire Cameroon Napoleans. Vote Bush!!!

Imagine that.... the State of Illinois giving money back to Folks, 118 Bucks huh!!! Wow and they Got 9 Billion. and Didnt take the products away from the consumer. They just needed the extra cash for projects that dont work for the state's and who is Paying uummmm
that would be us the consumers. people laugh at me when i tell the non smokers this effected you also. they didnt know that RJ Reynolds & Phillip Morris are also Huge Food Distributors in this Nation. and every consumer is paying that bill not just we lil Smoker's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if Gore becomes president, he and his Injustice Department might think, "hey, to rescue social security let's go after McDonald's for making fatty unhealty hamburgers". Then to pay down the debt they can go after Public Service companies for those dangerous power lines that some quacks says gives people cancer. The tobacco lawsuits are the biggest sham. First half of the money goes to lawyers that have cozy relationships with the government, then the rest goes for all types of projects under the sun, none of which is tobacco related. In Colorado the money is being used for such things as parks and roads. Similar is the holocaust industry. Suing anyone and everyone under the sun for the sake of the victims. But these victims don't see any of it, just goes to the coffers of lawyers and huge organizations. The victims, those left alive are getting pretty pissed about it now. But I digress, and I have a bit of anti lawsuit bias. In the end, though it is us regular Joes that have to pay for these lawsuits, as corporations simply pass the cost along to the consumer.
