That's defeatist, callous and evil by definition. Using that definition, we would not have Aspirin today.<br /><br />Anne Widdecombe only cares about her own civil rights, as illustrated here:<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2k4PYDu7qQU&feature=c4-overview&list=UUso3AWJjJ3SViDH_4vBh5qA<br /><br />Apparently, self-starvation will still allow you to enter through the Pearly Gates.Winstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14029187310122412297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654455663519806899.post-88993289899042182842013-07-13T13:14:12.053-07:002013-07-13T13:14:12.053-07:00Fantastic link!
