      Your selective attention is interesting.   
      
      It's the broadness of the language that expands the limits. Because   
   the broadness of the language does nothing to limit the definition of   
   the terms. And, one more time, the legislators voting for the bill   
   specifically intend for the law to include garage sales, flea markets   
   and one on one cash transactions. This by their own admission.

      Well, that IS the crux of the argument, then, isn't it.

      Wow. Obfuscation 101.  This discussion has suddenly become a waste of   
   bandwidth.   
      
      Bottom line...I've lived there, you haven't. I deal with the   
   legislators in Louisiana every week, you don't.   
      
      You're entitled to your skepticism. Enjoy it.   
      
      Have a good evening.
