I believe that anyone caught in a car without a seatbelt should face immediate execution. I also think that taking vitamins ought to be mandatory. Why should my health insurance be higher because all those idiots who refuse to take their vitamins? If they want to endanger their health, that's OK, but not if they make society pick up the tab for increased demand on the medical services. While we're at it: Anyone not following a healthy diet ("healthy" to be defined by the Surgeon General) should face death by firing squad. We should also put telescreens into every home so Big Brother can ascertain that everyone performs their daily excercises. :-) Bill Pfeifer {cbosg,decvax,harpo,ihnss,ogcvax,pur-ee,ucbvax,zehntel} !tektronix!tekmdp!billp
