It's been some years now, but once many years ago, I came across a dusty, yellowed ancient copy of the Lincoln Gazette, during the early 1970s the "underground" or "alternative" newspaper in that city.
It was a giveaway newspaper, and because most places didn't want a stand on their premises, it used to be distributed by some guy looking very much like a tall Leon Trotsky, standing at major intersections handing it out.
The Lincoln Gazette was operated by three guys, and sometime later there was a split, between the Trotsky-looking guy in charge of distribution, and the two other guys, who started a second "underground" or "alternative" newspaper for the city.
Then the second two guys had a split, and Lincoln suddenly had three "underground" or "alternative" newspapers.
It was about politics; one of them was a Marxist Socialist, another a Revolutionary Socialist, and the third a Maoist Socialist, which created deep ideological chasms between the three of them.
Anyway, that's all long-ago history.
But what I recall from reading a dusty old copy of the long-extinct Lincoln Gazette was a cartoon accompanying a statistical fact, or allegedly a statistical fact.
It said that by the time the "average" person in America reached 65 years of age, he had expelled more than 11 tons of excrement in his life. And of course the more one ate, the more one expelled.
One wonders if the overweight primitives are bothered by this, the damage they're doing to the planet, overeating like that.

I doubt they are in the least bit concerned. However, they will squeal like the stuck pigs they are when Obamacare demands that the meat the government mandated Body Mass Index to get their freeeeeee doctor visits and medicine.

There's that old saying about being careful what one wishes for, because one might get it.
It applies to 0bamacare.
I'm already visualizing the gigantic primitive as a horse jockey.
