Life clocks are a lie! Carousel is a lie! There is no Renewal!
A committee of one hundred Australian "health experts" - fascists each and every one - have proposed banning smoking for everyone born next year and for ever after, massive increases in the price of foods with artificial ingredients and a national fitness test in 2020. And people should be taught to think of death as a "positive experience". This is not science fiction. This is the new normal (via Mark Steyn at The Corner).
There goes my last place of refuge on earth. I suppose if I learn to not to care about Tibet I could always move to China and smoke and drink and eat all the deep fried food I want. It could be there will be more personal freedom in Shanghai ten years from now than Sydney, San Fransisco or London.

I have to admit I sort of agree with thinking of death as a "positive experience". We've forgotten that that is the ultimate outcome regardless of what you eat or drink.
