RJR sells international tobacco line (CNN financial news on-line)
http://cnnfn.com/hotstories/companies/9903/09/rjr/
We were chatting about it here at Rancho del Norte...and opined in a
moment of cynicism that this will offer Japan a wonderful opportunity
to boost its economy by marketing cancer sticks to developing
nations. A colleague said, bitterly and sadly, "Gotta give those poor
deprived folks their opportunity to be exposed to all the wonders of
industrial society, right?"
How very sad.
BTW, here in Wisconsin, tobacco farmers are looking for
alternative crops...if any of you all are on top of similar projects,
honk; I'd like to hear from you.
peace
