Had enough!

Its been a while since i've 'blogged'. Simply because I had nothing to say. But I have decided to write again just to get the seething anger off my chest. I know hardly anyone reads these things so I figured this would be the best place to go.
I am sick and tired of being told what to do with my life to make me live longer.
It doesnt seem to matter what it is, its either dangerous or unhealthy.
This is just a basic list of the things off the top of my head;
Smoking, drinking alcohol, drinking tap water, eating anything sold from a supermarket, driving, following the wrong religion, watching television, using a computer for too long, using a mobile phone, having pets, spending money, not having enough sex, using fossil fuels, boiling the kettle with too much water in it, having a bath instead of a shower, flying, ski-ing, horse riding, not going to the dentist, etc.
The thing is EVERYONE ON THIS PLANET WILL DIE ONE DAY.
There, i've said it. We are all going to die, whether we lead an ultra healthy life or not. Whether we become environmentally friendly or not. Whether we wear protective clothing or not.
Some of us will die before we are born, others will carry on till over 100 but the end will come.
Im not looking forward to reaching 65, with no pension and osteoarthritis, running the gauntlet of muggers every time I hobble down the shops. So god knows what it will be like aged 100. Possibly I will become a burdon on my family, who struggle to pay for care for me and earn enough to feed themselves, who knows?
Perhaps if the government relaxed a bit and allowed people to enjoy themselves a bit more, they will pop their clogs a bit earlier thus saving the government millions in unpaid pensions and a national health service bill. Who bloody cares anyway?
