California is the nation's largest and most important state.  When you insult California, you insult America.

joke right? LOL - good one

I'm sure that is the way many egotistical californians must think, please be assured, it isn't the way the majority if not the rest of the country thinks of it

so you don't have a problem with a $28 BILLION settlement?

Udie what you are forgetting is that while we dominate most of the important industries (agriculture, aerospace, electronics, software, music, movies, ad infinitum), we also control the most important industry of all - porn.  Behave or we'll cut you off!

I could be wrong, but I'm damn near certain that tobacco is not grown anywhere in California.

Why should we give a toejame about Phillip Morris?

In the trial it was exposed that doctors had warned her for 4 decades that smoking was bad. She was quoted by witnesses ( doctors and friends) as saying "I'm an adult, it's my business" !!!!!


The jury heard this evendence! What a crock.

I was born in socialist CA, but luckily I moved to Az as a kid.

God bless my parents.
