Things that irritate you, but can't do much about.

1 the need for every couple to be severely taxed by their govt for having more than one child (the Chinese govt leads the way).
2 religion and people who are in its grip
3 IVF
4 Oz cricket's NSPanel

1 and 3 are in contradiction. As are 2 and 4. You're not rhymin', Horace.

tosh PCS...IVF is a waste of funds that could be applied to more useful ends, plus it reifies the notion that life is only fulfilled with one's own kiddie...China's policy has slowed the exponential population growth rate in that country...a fantastic human achievement..

2 and 4 are consistent...cricket is far more important than the mere notion of fairies at the bottom of the garden
