Yep.

Ultimately, I'm for complete privatization....

But removing the Feds from the equation and giving each state 100% control and responsibility is a great start.

Yes indeed. I have people who buy a bunch and keep a 6 month supply in the freezer. That still means going 6 months without. Thin Mints are the perennial best sellers.
