A Thousand Pints of Lite / War on drugs or pour on drugs? / In the 1988 presidential campaign, George Bush used the phrase "1000 points of light" to describe the democratic environment he would usher in if elected. What he really meant was / "1000 pints of Lit". Using the numbing effect of drugs he hopes to keep us lightheaded while he and his class continue to plunder without opposition. / Doug Minkley / "President George Bush often talks of ''1000 points of light.'' I''d like to think of those points of light as coming from the end of cigars, cigaretters and pipes across the country, and symbolize the cornerstone of this nation--tobacco." / Ellis Milan, / President, Retail Tobacco / Distributors of America / D. Minker 1990
