The tobacco companies used to put out their attempt to show that there are positive benifits, according to them from their product that contains the drug,nicotine, in that the 2 million deaths could relieve some governments of money that they would have had to pay older people in social security like payments that they do not have to pay, and health care public costs that they would not have to pay to older people since they died an early age from the use of tobacco products. I do not know if they are still putting out that type of defense as a positive aspect of their product. I could tie this example in with other examples if you return and would like to continue.

> A friend of mind told me this happened to him amny years ago. He was travleing to California and stopped in a town in Oklahoma where poker was legal. He said that there was a big pot and he was called and had a flush. The other player had a straight. As my friend was taking in the big pot the other player stopped his hand and said, " I have an Oklahoma straight because my straight has in it the 5 of clubs and the 8 of hearts and an Oklahoma straight beats a flush." And a gun was pulled out the other player took the money away from my friend and he had to leave by force.

> Loursk,
Another example of a way of thinking that I could tie into all of this that would like for you to cojsider is the following:
A man was attempting to trade in his car with a dealer and the dealer said to the man, "Would you take $5000.00 for your trade-in? The man agreed to the trade-in and when he was in the office to pay the difference and to take delivery of his new car, the dealer's representative said to the man that they needed $1000.000 more to make the deal. The man was outraged and said that there was a deal made that would allow him $5000.00 for his trade. The dealer's rep then said to him,
" We asked you if you would take $5000.00 for your trade, not that we would give it to you."
This went to trial and as I can remember, it is called a {wouldyoutake} and the trial judge ruled that there was an expectation for the man to receive the $5000.00 for his trade and fined the dealer a substantial penalty for what the judge said was deliberate misrepresentation.
