I'M TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE LOSING WEIGHT! For once, lets keep it at that. This is weight watchers, not fascist/communist/Pol Pot takeover. If you want to get my opinions on fascism, take a look at the Supreme Dictator thread.

By the way, I find this really funny. The rest of this post has to be sacrificed to humor. I can't contain myself...[starts twitching, cranks up the Wyclef Jean tape]

I have a right to tell these very fat people to go do a few jumping jacks. Man, I'll walk up to them and slap them in the face. "Look people, you are gifted with the greatest machine ever known to man - the human body. All you can do is sit around and get fat?!"

Tolerance in this case, sadly, is just weakness disguised.

Well, hell! I guess we might as well disband the government and call it a day. Sorry folks, no taxes! We finally realized that taking money from people is plain old wrong, even if it is essential for the social programs and army they love.

Let's move beyond grade school lessons about sharing. We all have to fork over a little money from time to time.

Damn, it feels good to be sarcastic!
