   agreed, there are many factors and who is to say what is right for one is   
   best for all. SELECT implies "the ability to decide" and so much of what   
   happens to each of us in life pivots on how well one makes intelligent   
   decisions... in regards to food and in regards to everything really.   
      
   No one is telling you to jump off a cliff, no one is bending anyone's arm,   
   but still, many people still feel compelled to jump off cliffs. (Like this   
   lady after Castaneda died.)   
      
   why?   
   they just decide, "I am going to jump off a cliff."   
   so they do it. They run to the edge and compulsively jump off.   
      
   I am sure in hindsite they would probably admit that it wasn't one of their   
   most intelligent decisions. But they are dead now, so....   
   It's like the Darwin Awards.   
      
   why do people make dumb decisions like this?   
      
   ...because they are idiots.   
      
   the world is full of idiots making bad decisions.   
   It's just a shame so many of them happen to be politicians.   
      
   Who elected these people anyway?   
   idiots making bad decisions...

   Ahhhh, so now the cat is out of the bag...lol   
      
   Jeremy let's go of the deepest secret of his inmost nature...   
      
      
   a morbid and introspective lad, were you?   
      
      
      
   and a fine lad you must have been, laddie!
