I was with you until you got to the fubawaba part.... Why is it when ever
there is a disagreement it always comes down to appearence???
Ummm, personality fine, opinion fine, BUT WHAT THE SAM HELL DOES ANYONE'S
FLIPPIN' SIZE HAVE TO DO WITH A DAMN THING?????	 And yes I'm yelling here.
Asinine behavior is is asinine behavior and size has very little to do with
whether your a big jerk or a little jerk. 
And why is is fat ugly BROADS huh????  I'll tell you, I've met some SOB's in
the society but you don't hear me bitchin' about it.
In fact until Southern War Practice I didn't sing becuase someone said
my "voice" wasn't period.  
You find friends and work though that crap, you help people that the period 
police hurt, but if you start name calling and egging on it just gets worse not 
better.
I realize you didn't mean any harm, but people listen and read and react.
And I guess the way you are about Native American's well that's the way I 
am about big people.  
I hate the idea that we are all assessed on our appearance.  Think about it, okay?
Couldn't you find some other way of disagreeing rather than such  hurtful hateful 
name calling.
