Such abuses are self inflicted and not accidents.


So something could be done?


They say not. It has to come from within.


Complete nonsense!

Not in the slightest.


You could erect fences around all supplies of food and only let people
eat by rationing their allowance. You could ban alcohol. Such measures
would undoubtedly reduce the incidence of deaths caused by obesity and
alcohol.

On the other hand they would be very unpopular, people would see it as
a reduction in their quality of life.

These are not accidental deaths.


A bit like forcing people to turn wild areas into theme parks by fencing
in all the paths.


No comparison.

All truth passes through three stages:
First, it is ridiculed;
Second, it is violently opposed; and
Third, it is accepted as self-evident.
