           That last statement is one of the stupidest things I've read   
   on Usenet, and there is no lack of stupidity there.  Weight is more   
   heritable than height, even when you consider adoptees.

           I refuse to take blame for something I have no control over.   
   Will you take responsibility for your ignorance?  You have some   
   control over that. If you ever decide to stop being lazy, I could post   
   a reading list for you.

        Society bears the burden for all kinds of things that people   
   risk.  Can you really live a risk-free life?
