          If they don't control the increasing level of obesity amongst their citizens, the humongous collective weight might crack the Earth's crust around the North American region, and the land would collapse in by maybe 5-6 inches. Of course Canada and Mexico would also collapse in by about the same number of inches, since they are in the same region, and have pretty much the same density of fast food chains. Does that answer your question? :rolleyes: Regards, Nish

            [Jumps on Soapbox] It already has. The political system remains, but the foundation of beliefs in personal freedoms and little-to-no government intervention in daily lives has been dying for the last 75 years. You can thank the ACLU for destroying freedom ...

                                        We already have that. For the last 3 Presidential elections, we have had people blaming/giving credit to the President for job creation/loss, the state of the economy, and government spending. Anyone who paid attention in high school government class would realize that the President has next to no direct control over any of those issues, yet they were all big issues in the elections. And sadly, that is just the tip of the iceberg ...
