Thanks for the nod to my post.

And it's definitely "have." :P

It is said that the single largest non-natural cause of death in the 20thC was "killed by your own Government". Solution?

Ban Governments.

J, ta, duly amended.

B, true, but on a practical level, anarchy (like in Somalia, Afgh etc) is even worse.

The Chinese Lanterns one was something I thought about in jest to Mrs P a few days ago while she was watching one of those wedding shows.

Just goes to prove, as Reason TV says, if you've thought of it, someone is probably trying to ban it.

DP, the Chinese Lantern meme is quite old. Somebody who used to comment on this blog wrote to his MP complaining about them.

AKH, good idea. It won't go down too well with the burger community, will it? But they kill more people that children's cage fighting does, so fair enough.

Wouldn't banning eveything include the banning of bans?

I had no idea about the lanterns ban meme - O don't always search for previous stuff like this. Maybe I should... anyway going to add that link to my post. TA!

VFTS, but then wouldn't all the earlier bans promptly lapse? I don't think that TPTB would fall for that one.

J, while you're at it, see if there's an e-petition for banning hair extensions. A f-ing danger to life and limb they are.

In Hong Kong, fireworks are banned but nobody talks about banning lanterns. By the way, HK has much more authoritarian bans than the UK, but there are smoking rooms in the airport.
