...McDonald's, two bucks can buy you two cheeseburgers, but it can't get you a calorie-conscious salad. Worse, Hicks doesn't even recognize the weightist prejudice he's expressing: "Incapacitated? Well, she can't really walk so well, but I don't really see that mild disability keeping her out of the job market. Discriminated against? No, nothing there, either." Fattism does keep people out of the job market. And it can make people miserable. Sadly enough, some people still think it's okay to ridicule fat people...
...elicited a twinge of discomfort, conversation between my friends and I turned to the influence Annenberg dining hall had had in our lives. Why had Harvard decided to feed all 1600-plus first-years in the same cavernous dining hall?

To my friend Greg, there is a straightforward conclusion to be drawn from the mystery of Galen's death. "We've just got too many guns in this country. We've got to get rid of them...
...none of these circumstances applies to our friend. Incapacitated? Well, she can't really walk so well, but I don't really see that mild disability keeping her out of the job market. Discriminated against? No, nothing there, either. About the only possibility is her gender, but that is generally an upper-management prejudice--and I can't envision her having bumped into any glass ceilings in the recent past. And finally, on the subject of recent past, she has been at her stoop for most of it. Since I began attending this university, she has sat atop her milk...
