| Category: Health An article from news.com.au with the headline "Chronic disease straining health budget" typifies the way our rights are being whittled away because of claims it is in our interest to do so. The article contained a lot of statistical tautology which boiled down to: if you live longer you are more likely to suffer chronic diseases. The real reason for the piece however came from the following sentence: Too many people were making bad lifestyle choices that set them up for disease, he said.It seems that because our friend the government pays for our health it has a right to interfere with our lifestyles. This is another case of a meddling leftoid scientist believing he is smarter than the rest of us and should therefore have extra influence on public policy. |
