exit does not exist

NBC nightly news reports that one of the only consumables that has had positive sales is, lottery tickets (followed closely by alcohol). Their rez expert lady likens the scratch-off spike is more like when movie ticket sales increased in the 30s, saying that people want a bit of escapism in tough times. The fantasy that their life could change over-night. What else might also be on the upswing? I am calling for sex and hallucinogens. I am crossing my beer chilled fingers for the day when someone makes a valentines day gift basket of all four vices; guaranteed sell out. Retailers peep that.
