It's a funny thing, but as soon as somebody starts suggesting what 'we 
should', I think "hang on a minute, that's not up to you!".

The whole concept of a single individual pronouncing on what an entire 
species 'should' seems a bit, well, pointless to me.
If *I'm* not going to take any notice (which I'm not, I have my own 
Meaning Of Life, thanks), you can guarantee that about 7 billion other 
people aren't, either.  No offence, Bill, I just think that all we can 
do is decide what each one of us, individually, 'should'.
