Some people think that Chris Christie is much too out of shape to effectively hold office...

82. And how am I casting blame?

It's a fact. I was not the one casting judgments. I wouldn't be surprised at all if maybe the physiological difference has more to do with the body learning how to retain water to prevent dehydration in a hot enviornment, like genetic predispositions toward obesity have to do with the body learning how to retain body fat to prevent starvation and keep insulation in a cold enviornment. Insulin resistance helps the body not burn fat, salt retention helps the body retain water. Would a person with sickle cell anemia be to blame for their ancestor's genetic trait that helped them deal with malaria, any more than a person with cystic fibrosis is to blame for their ancestor's genetic trait that helped them deal with cholera? No!

I'm not saying blame.

You were laying blame, casting judgments. Because you blame Christie for being fat, and think it's a character flaw. You were the one who said that physical appearance is everything in this culture and that's fine and dandy. So why is it any better to judge a person for the amount of skin they have than to judge them for the color of it? NEITHER has anything to do with fitness for office.

You're the one defending bigotry.
