Big Tobacco gave 42 million dollars last month to kill the new tobacco
legislation, they did to.
Makes you wonder why we vote doesn't it.
Now new bills to stop y2k lawsuits. Might work but Omega is in the
financial software business and if they do not gives us a patch they will
not stay in business. Might could get away from this legally but the
customer would forget ever. Sounds to me like this y2k bill could be
unconstitutional and could be throw out by the supreme court but by that
time it wouldn't matter to us.
