You know I sometimes wonder what the fuck is it all about - There's evil scum paedo *word censored* like Brady - kept alive at our expense when he should have been thrown into a pit of ravenous hyena's dangling on a rope and lifted out every few minutes till he screamed what he knew...a young child gets knocked down and killed whilst out playing - and a wonderful talented pianist in the prime of her life...there's a guy who having suffered a stroke is paralyzed from the neck down he wants to die humanely and the government say no...there's a man in a coma whom the family want kept alive on a life support machine and the doctors want to turn the machine off...t just does not make any sense whatsoever.
