Gads, all this confusion between cause and effect and correlation.  We have a huge obesity problem in this country.  Maybe we should teach kids that they don't need food.  Food leads to McDonalds, then Burger King, then what?  A life of being overweight and ostracized.

Oregon may be the only state that requires a prescription for Sudafed, an anti histimine.  Other states jsut require a "sign for it" approach.  It is an added TAX on Oregon citizens. It's a tax on people who don't do anything wrong, we (the citizens) are just punished to help powerless people feel powerful.

I used to live in rural northern Nevada, and we often noted that the trouble with the culture there was that nearly all actvities were centered on the gaming industry; it was the casinos who put on the big shows & concerts,casinos paid for area fireworks,  and they had the best restaurants.  The trouble is that the easy money lead to the region being totally dependent on this gaming industry.  It isn't healthy.  I'd rather not see Oregon start down that rat hole.
