Nothing unusual there and I actually sympathize with my fellow citizens trying to carve some peace and happiness out of life.

But the poor and sick and unlucky, oh my, thankfully it's ok to vent on them.

Movie stars that have their weight bounce up and down, hey, we feel their pain and we root for them.
