But I like to eat. I like to eat steak. A world in which I can't eat steak
is not perfect for me.

I guess I have uncommon intelligence :-) since I can't imagine what a PU
would be. I can't even imagine exactly what would be a perfect universe for
me. Do I want more security...or more adventure? Sure I want to

greatest tennis, chess, and billiards player?
