Well you know my attitude to the whole thing. It's entirely down to the arrogance and egocentricity of the majority of the population. "Oh noooos I might die that would be so terrible! I'd best hide behind the sofa!" (Cf peoiple who are 'afraid of flying') It's just selfishness.
We are a nation of repellant, self-absorbed egomaniacs and I hate each and every one of us.
Whatever happened to living a dayt as a lion rather than years as a lamb, ffs?
