I don't get it, Mq. Take that far enough and you are "On The Beach." You know, where the rest of the world gets fried and you don't. Are you for it, or against it?

a high proportion of those deaths are self-selected. Same for what people choose to eat. Regarding eats, I was visiting down your way again a couple of months ago and heard on your local news an outrageous example of nanny state run amok. Seems that some school children were having the "unhealthy" portions of the lunch that their mothers had prepared for them confiscated by school authorities. Such egregious examples of "child abuse" included chips and cookies. It's a sad state of affairs that you Kiwis are willing to put up with that kind of crap. If some school official tried that with my kid, I'd shove 'em a cookie where the sun don't shine.
