AS well as everything else which appears to be haywire in our British "democratic" society today, it is also my personal opinion that there is far too much emphasis on the way we lead our lives even if they are upright.

If we favour a particular sort of diet, for example, this is our business, if we smoke and yet not in public places, this too is our business.

If we are over 50 (50+) and we do not desire to take up 50+ New Deal and we are actually told it "voluntary" and adds, "if you are not interested ignore this letter" - then why do we continue to receive them?

It isn't really a democracy - is it?
