Hey, I've always been thin. In school I was so thin that I got picked on for it all the time. One kid said I looked like a concentration camp survivor. He was soooo nice...

Well, so what? It doesn't make me fly into a huff whenever people comment on someone being too thin. I don't take it personally. Being either overweight OR underweight is considered a health risk, but some people manage either and stay healthy.

I don't see that it is so politically sensitive an issue that we can't be allowed to talk about it.

pdq - I know north central Nevada fairly well. I stayed there for lengthy visits in the late 70's and in the 80's off and on. I had Shoshone and Cherokee friends there at the time. I was in and around Carlin and Elko, mostly. Some people go to Nevada to gamble. I went there to join in Native ceremonies, take care of goats, sing, garden, stuff like that. Nice fresh air up there at 4,500 feet, isn't it?
