"i am .........."meant to"

Hard to believe the Tennessee legislature would pass a bill taking 23 million out of their fund unless.... hmmm.... .....If I lived in Tennessee I would start stocking up on Jack Daniels and cigarettes right now. They're going to make it up by raising taxes on alcohol and tobacco. Ubetcha. But on the bright side, they're saving you from hellfire and brimstone . At least you can take comfort in that.

i cant understand what makes you think that Todd. DoctorEw understands well. we are all the same thing and unfortanetly the only thing we know for sure is that we get to rot underground. anything else is just a bonus 
I believe life is about finding someone you cant live without
And showing them how much you care every day of every month of every year

i wouldn't go to TN for smokes. i'd go to KY for smokes. there's no state minimm in KY for smokes. i once bought a carton for $10. back in pgh., $10 gets you 2 packs. I've redone my website. Go to www.dr-ew.com. I kept a lot of the old stuff, and I've added some new stuff. Look for more new stuff in the coming weeks.

Yes, but does Kentucky have politicians that can protect you from
the wiles of the devil while you are there buying cigarettes, thereby saving you from the very gates of HELL AND ETERNAL DAMNATION  like Tennessee does?

Okay, my two cents here.............I was born and raised in Bolivar, TN and just so it is known I am religious (to a comfortable degree Monday thru Friday). This is my take on it summed up in one broken sentence. Seperation of state and religion!

... which brings me to this question: If the church and state are separate, why does it say "In God We Trust" on the dollar bill?

I don't think it'll pass. People in TN love the lottery and it would take too much money away. Just my opinion.

My question to the politicians - what about those religions which observe the Sabbath on Saturday? Aren't you forgetting them in your proposed bill? Better make it "no lottery sales during weekends" just to be on the safe side. ... the lottery never fails to surprise!
