43. Why apologize...Most of America is "overweight." Not something to
have to put out there to "qualify" your honest opinion. Speak Out... Who the hell cares what one looks like on the INTERNET ...as long as you have a brain and an opinion that folks can understand. :shrug:

No more APOLOGIZING for OUR SELVES and OUR OPINIONS! NO MORE WHINING that if we can only get "60 Votes" our DEMOCRACY WILL BE BACK! Time to stop this denigrating ourselves and looking for "HOPE"...in all the Wrong Places!

We need to BUCK UP! There are so many working to make us feal defeatism. We can't go along with this ANYMORE. Both Parties and the MSM/Medical/Media/Industrial Complex is working 24/7 to make us all feel BAD about OURSELVES!
