Market Farming

HOLD ON JUST A COTTON PICKIN' MINUTE!!!!!!!!!   I've lived through 3 family
deaths from lung cancer or COPD--all directly related to smoking.  The most
recent being my dad.  I watched him slowly strangle to death the 2 weeks he
was hospitalized, and when he had the breath to speak begged us to not
smoke.  I sure as hell know what tobacco does.  I also know that the same
can be said for anything else done to the extreme--FOOD being a prime
example--which has caused more health problems than tobacco ever will.

My dad didn't have to warn me--I never have smoked & never will, but tobacco
is still a legal crop, and people still have the choice to enjoy it, and
until such time comes I will grow it, and not hang my head in shame.

You can call me insane, but NEVER a hypocrite!!!!!!!!!!!!!
