You don't shoot the messenger!! Adam, maybe you should publish a list of issues and/or subjects that "trip your trigger" so we'll know what we can or cannot post! :-( Get over it!

I just wanted to start a discussion. I can tell by your tone that I'll never convince you that I was truly depressed by what I saw at Disney World. Obesity is an epidemic and I was hoping to get some insight into why it is affecting only North Americans. I guess the best answer is that there is an excess of everything here, including food. You are wrong when you assume that I am making a judgment and holding myself above them. I have as many faults as anyone. I hope that you'll also refrain from making a snap judgment about me and my intentions. Tina _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
