The Philip Morris initiative will be on the ballot this November.
If passed it will pre-empt AB13 and local ordinances passed by
over 300 Calfornia cities, weakening protection from secondhand
smoke across the state.

Not surprisingly, Philip Morris, the bankroller of the initiative,
thinks this is a great idea.

So I'm sponsoring a small contest.  Just complete the analogy:

	Having the tocacco industry write the rules on
	secondhand smoke is like ...

For instance, "having the fox write the rules for the henhouse".
Or "having the crack industry make the rules for gun registration".
Or "having North Korea write the rules on nuclear inspection".

Prize: undying fame.  I'm not the tobacco industry.
I don't have millions of dollars to spend.

To play: it's a net thing.  Just followup to this article
(post to ca.general, please).  Enter as many times as you like.
