      There was a time when

      alll illegal activities were lumped under one business activity code but I do know that they have revamped the list of codes since I knew that this was true for sure..

        Shocked

        Burton, I am shocked, dismayed, upset, frustrated (you name the adjective) that you would label this as "Humor and idle chatter".:-)

        This is obviously a very serious matter in some areas of the country where growing mj is the primary cash crop. Therefore, this contains info that could be of great importance.

        Only in government or politics is a "cut in spending" really an increase. It's just not as much of an increase as they wanted it to be, therefore a "cut".
