It is time to intern the assault fatties...

It is a safety issue.
It is for the children.
Fatty fat fatties are responsible for fat violence.
Nobody needs a high capacity panniculus or cop-killing adipocytes.
You (yes you, Fatty) are not attractive no matter how many lard-arses are stuffed via the mythical Shoehorn of Kronos into a Dove commercial or how many Leviathan of Old Testament proportions are paraded about by the tittering or gibbering Lane Bryant.

Leaving the highly sensitive topic of "gun-control" aside for the time being, one can't help but wonder if it isn't time that the US government, seemingly hell-bent on regulating virtually everything in its quest to prove (to itself?) that America's population can no longer be trusted with making any responsible decisions on it own (and in the process becoming even bigger), shouldn't be more focused on "fat-control" instead. Why? Because while guns may or may not kill people, the bottom line is that of the 32K or so death attributed to firearms, roughly 20K, or two thirds were suicides, meaning firearm-based homicides were 11,015 in 2010. Putting this number in perspective, every year some 935,000 Americans suffer a heart attack, and 600,000 people die from some form heart disease: 1 in every 4 deaths. Net result to society: the cost of coronary heart disease borne by everyone is $108.9 billion each year. And of all proximal factors contributing to heart disease, obesity and overweight is the main one. But of course one can't make a media spectacle out of 600,000 hospital wards where people quietly pass away, in many cases due to a lifetime of ill decisions relating primarily to food consumption. In fact, some estimate that obesity now accounts for one fifth of the total US health-care bill (the part of the budget which no amount of tax increase can offset). Which is why if the topic of gun-control has managed to promptly tear the country into two (or three, or more), just wait until fat-control (far more than the recent tepid overtures into this field such as Bloomberg's NYC sugary soda ban) rears its ugly head and sends the already polarized (and weaponized) US society into a state of agitated hyperflux...

And that's really it. Sadly, the government, in its encroaching desire to become the world's nanny state par excellence, already believes it can offset everything else, including human stupidity and impulse control. That it can't will become very apparent in time, but only when everyone finally wakes up from the 150 year old dream that started with Bismarck's 'Welfare State' utopia, and sadly ends in bloodshed. With or without gun control.

Given the epidemic of fat violence (think of the poor cheeeeeeldren), it is well past time for government to step in and legislate a ban on the Fatty fat fatties. Internment camps, gulags and work camps such as in North Korea where the 99% rule are in order.

In 2011, 32,367 people died in vehicle accidents. https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q...tj4cIWpuxRbEMA

We need to make it illegal to own and drive a car.

Every year, on September 11, one is reminded of the high capacity assault aircraft that were used to KILL. For the sake of the children (aka someone else crapped one out so now, your rights have to be restricted), is is time to ban all commercial aviation. Nobody needs to fly.
