77. I did.
"We probably won't quit smoking, but we are taxed enough already, thanks."

I did. Two week now. In my case, I finally realized that all the righteous rage and incompetent indignation I was directing at the raise in prices should really have been directed at me in the first place. My addiction, my bad habit, my weaknesses that I could never admit to were simply projected onto those who merely raised the tax.

But that's just me-- I have little doubt that the indignation and rage others may feel have absolutely nothing to do with their own addictions, and are uniquely and fully justified...
