...continued from page 1

Tobacco and slavery together gave economic impetus to the development of the South. It took a war to eliminate slavery. It may take the equivalent to eliminate tobacco. First we have to understand that we are waging war. We need to send in federal troops and raze all the tobacco fields, here and abroad, then confiscate all tobacco stocks. Then we shoot on sight anyone selling the drug. Our descendants will marvel at how we suddenly acquired wisdom.
