My last post clearly hit a nerve.

As soon as it was published the neat of convergence of several suicide stories in the media suddenly burnt out with an intense ferocity.

My favourite of these stories was the tale of a woman with MS who has launched a high court case to win the right to die by assisted suicide rather then choking to death. I don't think she'll be very successful because choking to death is almost something of an aspiration for the British Establishment.

The rest of the evening the seemed to following something of a well recognised pattern;

First there was anger as my father gave me one his stern metaphorical talking too's which actually included him using the phrase "When in Rome you should do as the Romans do" to which the only obvious response was "What engage in orgy of ego driven self-destruction which will only end in the fall of an Empire?"

Then there was denial when the Zimbabwe story became attached to the recurring phrase "Charities say ordinary people will suffer". This couldn't possibly be in reference to my charity because that would force us to believe that either all the scientific research, the governments policy and the establishment policy on the subject is wrong or in fact the Charities opinion doesn't really matter for shit.

Then there was depression as an Israeli minister made a strong statement calling for an attack on Iran and the world oil price made it's largest single day jump in a very long time.

Next there was bargaining as access to pornography was turned back at just the same time an opportunity to assist those who seem intent on destroying me and my friends was presented. When I failed to take it the pornography disappeared.

Finally there was acceptance as the pronography was turned back on although sadly at that point I didn't really care it's just nice to know things are not being withheld.

Today however has been a new day and despite the headlines that are clearly trying to convince someone change for the better is coming the minions have once again decided themselves that despite all evidence to the contrary a kicking contest is the way forward. Really you have to marvel at the strength of their never say succeed attitude.
