It's not all about us you know. What we'd prefer to watch is immaterial.
It's how they'd prefer to die (or not) that matters, and perhaps we
should consider asking them than foisting our preferences onto them.

The GM crops farce is a repeat of the same scenario. Africans can't farm
it and get more money because the middle classes here have our
supermarkets saying that if they allow GM anywhere in the country, we
won't buy any of their produce.
