Interesting discussion with a co-worker about "Nanny State" policies.

34. "What do I do" is so different from "which is the way to go"

because it picks up the inconsistencies of each of our choices - so there is no one size fits all way to go that works for everyone - this is what makes it messy!

It is also a startlingly open and vulnerable thing, to admit to which particular "rules" we do or don't break - my friends and I have had very interesting discussions around all of this - and each of us over the years spot the inconsistencies in each of our many arguments, positions or life choices!

I am like you, I guess - I am one of those "we are all born with a clean slate and the world is full of wonders and we should each maximize our potential for both its enjoyment and longevity" types, I suppose - tend to think in terms of "health first"....yet I will be the first to admit that the speed limit on most roads is too low....so there you go!

Now I need to retrieve my brain from these fascinating deep thought topics and go get something done!
