From reading some of the posts about cataract surgery, I think that if they read up about it they would understand what advantages and disadvantages happen. The ability to focus is quite diminished, but the sight becomes clearer.
I have always wondered why in places, where people are badly treated for their convictions, they still insist on proclaiming them. In some countries this amounts to virtual suicide. A little, life preserving, lie might save them.
I lived in Hampstead during the war. There was some football played, and the nearest ground was Arsenal. Some of the players used to play when they were on leave from the forces. I have supported Arsenal until recently. I may support them again when they stop "taking the knee."
