TJ, it was obviously a great struggle to find a person mentally disturbed enough to starve themselves to death. One can travel to many countries and find hunger and starvation on a compulsory basis, compliments of military rulers. How do you think things are in Zimbabwe these days if you go looking here and there?

He was a drunk and obviously chose to die through pride or other reasons, rather than had no means of living. Plus I'd take with a grain of salt the obvious bias of the writers who are delighted to have found a case to back their bludging philosophies in which the productive are the slaves of the indigent.

Even in NZ, which has a welfare state to die for [to coin a phrase], there are people who fish through rubbish bins and hook out food. Their free-loader bludger money goes on booze. There's plenty of food lying around uneaten. He could probably have wandered down to a nearby rubbish bin and found lots of discarded food.

I wonder what was really going on. One swallow doesn't make a summer, so to speak.
