It was about two battling tobacco dynasties, and I believe there was a Romeo and Juliet type story line with their children. Up until I watched that movie, I never gave it much thought where my parent’s cigarette ingredients came from. Human ecology is always disturbing something; it leaves me to wonder which is worst, a plant (tobacco) reaping havoc on man, or a synthetic (crack) reaping havoc on humanity. <br><br>http://journals.aol.com/kathleenggoode/WavingNotDrowning/<br><br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6489911025579199899.post-53497040010058286692004-09-24T13:26:00.000-07:002004-09-24T13:26:00.000-07:00Hmmm, I hope your hubby knows this.Hmmm, I hope your hubby knows this.<br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6489911025579199899.post-31919797629046978232004-09-25T22:43:00.000-07:002004-09-25T22:43:00.000-07:00Great entry!
