HERE SHE IS
A few days after "Anonymous" told me I was ugly inside and out, a friend and I were having breakfast at a Perkins. As we were leaving, a woman and a young boy were coming in, and she said, "Let the beautiful woman pass." I gave her a quizzical look, and she said, "Yes, I mean you." So, here's the ugly woman.

Rebuttal
Dear anonymous--you must be fat. I'm 72, been smoking since 9 years old, and am healthy as a horse --however, I'm quite sure that if I get hit by a semi and get killed the death certificat will read, "Death due to consequences of smoking."

SOLUTIONS?
When I was a youngster, I would see scratched into sidewalks and in other places, "WPA."
Our infrastructure in this country is in such bad shape, and I live in a state with 8% unemployment, wouldn't be a better idea to re-start the WPA and let the unemployed be proud to be working rather than hand out a pittance (which I won't get). I'm quite sure that if I got that 600 bucks, I'd go out and spend it on things made in China. So will a lot of other people--and there we are, back to square one. I always used to laugh when I saw the cement street markers in the town where we lived, because they were made by the WPA, in a town that never in its history voted for a Democrat, and the town was quite snobby about its unique street markers.
Solution 2: Reinstate gasoline stickers, so that even if the rich drivers of giant SUV's could afford it, they could buy just so much gasoline. I remember during WWII what a treat it was when my parents save enough gasoline stickers so we could take a Sunday drive.
Solution 3: Tax obesity. Everybody gets weighed once a year and if their BMI was too high, they'd get socked with a big tax. Also tax the restaurants that serve us lumberjack portions and "all you can eat" buffets.
Wyn for President. Imagine walking down smooth sidewalks in your size 4 dress, and actually enjoying an outing with the kids!
