The real horror isn't the close proximity... its the fact their loving families will shlep them back and forth to get their hit.<BR/><BR/>So sad to look back and realize at 28 I'm old. For pities sake, when I wanted to spend some money on icecream or pop, I had to ride my bike 3 miles each way to the tiny town nearest us.

HFCS is cheap!<BR/><BR/>Why again do we tax things we like (income, etc) and subsidize the things that poison (oil, coal, ADM, etc)?
