*  Angela, re "ever heard of contraceptives?" Have you ever heard of a married couple with children splittng, forcing one into single motherhood? Get off your high horse.
*  Since bike lanes have taken over the roads, why don't we drive on the footpath?
*  John Key is more concerned about England
rugby strip than war vets' treatment at Crete. If not for them he would not be enjoying all the perks. The vets don't want belated compensation because they are real men. KB
*  Trying to completely ban cigarettes by 2025 is an outrage! Discouraging it is fine, but you can't ban everythng that causes harm from excessive use. I'm a social smoker and I demand it to be my right to choose. It's about freedom and our rights.
