I would revise this to say that it only puts a burden on people who consume *any* product or service. Even if the regulated company only produces left handed smoke shifters, they are still going to ship them, have raw material costs, have employees who are impacted (who buy other products and services), and the list goes on and on. All of this spreads to cost out over a much wider group of people than just those who buy left handed smoke shifters. -Cameron ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:268468 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
