Why doesn't our Gubment protect us from our selves?!
I get the same prescription from the sawbones every year, move more, eat less, and when you eat make sure it's green and leafy.
I choose to move a lot more and harass the Wundermutt on a regular basis; when I want a steak or a burger I eat one. "Sure Doc, there was lettuce involved...."
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.
"Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the Government take care of him; better take a closer look at the American Indian." - Henry Ford
Corruptissima re publica plurimae leges; When the Republic is at its most corrupt the laws are most numerous. - Publius Cornelius Tacitus
