Is there something you don't want people to know? The Times seems to think the subject worth two separate front-page stories over the last month.

You are welcome to bury your head and ignore the news. But just because you "don't get it," you are not welcome to try and censor it. There are many people who see personal and public health as foundational matters of great importance.

One could say, with justification, that a nation of people who are sick in body and mind might very well (gulp) elect a government that is also sick (R).
