I share your faith with this goal, but again the onus belongs in great part on Marshall's shoulders, not the general public's. It is the general public's duty to make sure Marshall does the right thing in the selling, marketing, and distribution of their product. For some time now, the public has been footing the tab, both in manpower and expense, for ameliorating the terrible results. I believe it is well overdue that Marshall begins to take FULL responsibility for their actions. The tobacco firms are just getting acquainted with a very similar issue. We can all work together to help Marshall do accomplish this goal. Good luck to you and your 12 fuzzbutts. FOR KODO AND ALL THE FERRETS WITH NO NAME best wishes, until next time, alphachi [Posted in FML issue 2007]
