Tobacco Settlement

Where to start..I guess at the beginning since sometimes a history lesson is in order.

President Clinton had the justice department sue the tobacco industry for $135 million dollars because they have lied about health issues on cigaretts. Its been in the courts for years cause the tobacco industry doesn't take responsibility for this.

Now since we have Mr. Dubya in office he has just settled the case for not $135 billion, not $100 billion, not $50 billion not $25 billion but $10 billion dollars which to these people is like $100 dollars.

This is another reason this guy has to go. Now I understand no one forces anyone to start smoking but in the settlement there is no education about how tobacco is not healty or about 2nd hand smoke nothing so in essence Bush's buddy in the tobacco industry get off scott-free. Think about it ladies and gentlemen
