So maybe yes, to hell with everyone else. Too many people in NJ don't complain and not enough people vote. If this passes it's their fault, not mine. I did my part. I'm happy with my habanos.

Ok, I'm confused. Didn't you vote for Corzine? Aren't you a self-identified 'liberal'?
What I'm getting at is that there are some inconsistencies here that confuse the hell out of me. You're a cigar smoking gun advocate, yet you vote for the very politicians who would seek every opportunity to take your freedom away, while taxing the begeezes out of you for the doing of it.
By the way, Christie Todd Witless was useless, IMO. I wasn't living in NJ when that election went down, so I had nothing to say about it. In the meantime, get a gander at that bill. Right. A fund to give to 'select' hospitals for 'research'. Right. In a state where the political corruption stems from a General Fund that corrupt legislators all are dipping their ladles in. Just how long do you think that money will actually stay in the fund to be used for its intended purpose, pray tell? And how, exactly, are those hospitals chosen... by some 'committee' that will dole out the money to those who sponsor the politicians on that committee... more patronage. Business as usual here, Joe.
This reminds me of Proposition A from 2000, when we voted to keep the state gas tax revenue in the state, then McGreedy tells us they need another $25 million for a DMV overhaul. Where was the money going before the proposition passed, and where did it go afterward that they couldn't pay for those improvements by the gas tax levvied in this state?
D'ya see what I'm getting at?
There's an old saying: "If you keep doing what you've done, you'll keep getting what you got".
If you REALLY want to change New Jersey, then VOTE YOUR RIGHTS, not what some asshole suit tells you he can "do" for you or the state. That shold raise a red flag right away, because when a legislator tells you he's going to "do" something, you can rest assured in New Jersey, that he's going to "do" it to YOU.
