I guess I'm pretty dense. In your original post you said somthing about socialism or welfare and the phrase "lose the weight and return to work." I interpreted that to mean that if you're going to harm yourself, the State should not help pay for it.

Bill, don't fall into the reasoning short circuit as 'you're telling everyone what to do' and 'you're judging' people. I said that many of the wastrels think that if we just had a socialist economic system, it would pay for all their drugs and port-a-tub electric carts and such but rather 'shared the risk' also means 'share the responsibility' and instead this ideal socialist system would more likely tell the "lose the weight and return to work". I said the working socialist system would say that, not me. I don't care one way or the other It's no sweat off my nose how many gargantuan individuals scoot about on the carts at WalMart, until they are parked for ten minutes blocking the aisle where I need to go. Same goes for such people on discussion lists, they can do as they please until they start blocking the aisles.
