My co-defendant Kate says it best:
I have a simple request of those politicians, career bureaucrats, and other professional public policy meddlers who believe they have a special obligation to their fellow citizens to legislate what we eat, what we drive, what we say, how we play, and when to come in from the midday sun – would you please kindly go f%$# yourselves, now?
My only consolation is the knowledge that once in a while, the family member you kill might be your own.
