I hate to agree with you -- but I do! Here in New York they are trying to tax any sweetened soft drink by a penny an ounce! Funny thing is most people I know who are seriously overweight drink the diet stuff -- and the skinny folks drink the naturally sweetened. ooofah!

And people wonder why the Tea Party exists!!
