[Osx-nutters] *Big* government

[Chris Gehlker]

It's not really on topic with the central point of this thread but I  
had a conversation yesterday with a friend who knows a young woman  
recently diagnosed with Cushing's syndrome. As she ballooned up as a  
result of the disease, many people treated her very cruelly, blaming  
her for her condition and treating it as evidence of a  character  
flaw. The irony is that she is an AIDS researcher who works with  
people who are horrified at the notion that having gay sex is a  
'choice' and reveals a character flaw.

My point is that the extent to which any behavior is voluntary or  
compelled is a continuum that varies from person to person.  You  
can't tell from the outside how much 'choice'  a person has over  
their action. It's best to err on the side of kindness.
