basic chemotheraphy is a just combination of toxins. so yes, one could make the argument that in context, everything is potentially good, even nicotine.
bottom line, though. cigarettes contibute more to society via taxation than they cost via healthcare, so there is considerable inertia to maintain the stauts quo.

Guelph has been doing this for years. Its really not that hard. Initially, people were confused and resented having to sort their garbage into three streams (recyclables, compostables, and waste) but compliance now hovers around 98%. Diverting 70% of household garbage to compostable and recyclable may seem like a lofty goal, but city stats and a quick survey of bags for pick-up in my neighbourhood indicate that we far exceed 70% diversion with very little effort. In fact, our "waste" bags only need to be picked up every two weeks, while recyclables and compostables are picked up every week. It's amazing how little "waste" we actually produce when properly sorted.
Two issues have arisen. The system is intended for households, and non-household organizations are not obliged to participate on their own and arguably, they produce considerable more waste than households. And two, recent political and financial decisions (not) made by a former city council have shamefully resulted in the community still being obliged to sort, but ALL three streams are shipped to the US for incineration. Ironically, we were a victim of our own success and we burned out the original composting plant and political infighting has led to inaction.

check that your TV is tuned to aux, or vcr2 or whatever. if thats not it, it may be the function keys you note. on this vaio, it's fn-F8 once to share between laptop and TV, fn-F8 again to go full TV (and only this will display moving vid's) and then fn-F8 to go back to just laptop. it took me a while to figure out that i need to hit the fn-F8 twice to get moving vid's on the tv. i use a 3-way 1/8" cord that splits to 3 RCA's (L, R, V) into the TV (aka a camcorder cable).

this was pretty cool. hooked the laptop up to the tv and surround. caught a bunch of acts. really enjoyed SCI, Kings of Leon, Wilco and the White Stripes. they seem to have ironed out the tech issue they had last year. much smoother connection this year, especially for that 20sec AT&T commercial.

ah, remember the good old days when we all used to fight to get the #12 spot, and pick the new topic ... now they just lay there, waiting, like a loonie on the ground and everyone just passes right on by and wonders "hmmm, why hasnt anyone else picked up that lonely loonie? there's must be something wrong with it. maybe its diseased, or perhaps covered in spittle."

Deal (esp a JGB version) by a long shot.
