What I don't like >:P

I don't like judgemental, criticial people who force everyone around them to change. For example, in Alabama, there's a "Fat Tax", simply put, you don't lose weight, you pay more taxes. I understand the need for it to combat the ever-growing obestiy problem in this country, but here are the problem I have with it:

  1. Forced conformity.
  2. If people are unable to lose weight, they will feel ostrictzied for being unable to comply with the new law.
  3. The after affects when people lose weight. They'll view those who are overweight as subhuman, forgetting that they we're overweight themselves.

What Alabama needs to do is gather the citizens together and come up with alternative solutions that can help its people and not make overweight citizens feel like outcasts in their own communities.
