I don't know dc: essentially, what you're saying is that the health organizations, the tobacco companies, and the guys the tobacco companies are paying off got together and found a compromise that benefits the tobacco companies. Yes, I know that our Congresspeople do more than get payed off, and I'm sure that it's a tough job...but in this type of context, the only real difficulty I see for the Congressperson - the only reason they have to give concessions to the tobacco companies - is because if they don't, their money flow will be cut off. Unless you're stipulating that these companies will start kneecapping people, then I see this as a classic sense of one hand washing the other, corporate politics.
