Have You Ever Thought...

...that there is some deep, dark connection between Consumerism in the USA and Obesity in the USA? I mean, is there some obscure-or not so obscure-causality that drives people to "consume" goods and services, like Oil and Stuff, as well as Burgers and Fries? Quiet. I'm thinking. Or...what about the bloated monster called Government Bureaucracy? Maybe you think the US Government actually functions. No. It is like one of those poor creatures on the Jerry Springer Show that weighs in at 800 pounds and needs a crane to get off the sofa. One of those souls who need Tiny (whoever he is) to stage an intervention where they come in through the front window (they can't get in through the door anymore-the guy's thigh is blocking it.), demolish one of the exterior walls and get a cherry-picker to get the guy to the hospital...where, by the way, there are no gurneys or beds or scales big enough to get the guy on...and there are no needles sufficiently acute to puncture the lipid layers of fat. And so on... Government that grows like this one has ceases to function in the interest of the people. Yet it goes one, eating, devouring, consuming... Maybe it isn't so bad that Skynet will be taking over soon!
