The county I live in is going to start to license stores that want to sell tobacco. $400 for the license, then $200 per year after that. The funds will be used to help keep minors from having access to tobacco.

The morning news did interviews with stores selling cigarettes. One said "This is discrimination! We're a minority! This is a hate crime!"

Persecution, ur doin it wrong.

Also, a small MMO note. I realized something, WoW is mirroring FFXI when it comes to expansions. Both had their best one (FFXI's ToAU, WoW's WotLK), followed by one that changed the world (WotG, Cata). FFXI's went back in time to a war-destroyed world, WoW's went forward in time to a dragon-destroyed world.

I bet I was the only player sad to see the new login screen this morning. Come back, Arthas! You're much sexier than a silly dragon with an ugly jaw and an annoying voice!

It's really hard to take Deathwing seriously as a bad guy. He looks silly. He sounds like a whiny kid. Maybe once we kill him, the Lich King can raise him as a cool frost wyrm. :P

Without the armor he is unable to hold physical form or something like that.

Oh huh! Okay, then there's reason for it, good!

Where'd you read this backstory? From the Cata book?

The novels have some good info, as does Warcraft II, but if you want it all in one condensed place...

Woo, thanks! I didn't read the book (I hate her writing style), so it's good that I can get the info elsewhere.

It's mostly from the novel series (I forget which ones) and the WoW Wiki articles on him which can list their sources better than I could :)
