#1 How much CO2 has their oil pumped into the atmo?

Two can play that game.

#2 .com,
when you were in the magic Kingdom, do you remember a cigarette sold there called Bedes(sp)? The smell alone those things gave off made them a health hazard.

#3 Why not? They saw how it worked out here.
Wait'll the Chinese get the idea. 2 billion people and about 26 don't smoke.

#4 Mike K - No, I don't recall the name - from your description, however, I might have been around them without knowing the name, lol. The Core Area Plaza was a weird place for smoke breaks - sights, sounds, smells, lol, all weird... :-)

#5 ...do you remember a cigarette sold there called Bedes(sp)?

You're referring to Bidi's (or beedies), they're a handrolled Indian cigarette. Very nasty! Filterless.

#6 Bedes are a type not a brand. Looks like a poorly rolled joint. We used to the smell to cover the odor of burning rope.

#8 If the Soddies were truly interested in saving people from the evils of smoking,they could simply ban the importation of tobacco and tobacco products. Kill all the smugglers. The real problem would be "solved" overnight. However, they are obviously just interested in extorting money from the west.

#9 Time to do some 'exporting' to Riyadh. I think a 20MT nuke would solve ALL the problems of Soddy Rabida.

#10 Send the Saudis Polonium-laced bidi's, then they'd have something to sue about.
