American w/ Disabilities Act??? Give me a break! If that's the case, then according to recent studies and news reports, most of America is disabled.

Is she disabled because she needs two seats? NO. If she can walk to the airport, walk to her gate, walk onto a plane, all on her own she does not seem disabled. One is not disabled simply because they are large.

Even if it was from a disease, it's curable. One of my roommates in college, Soph-senior years was a guy who had an inactive thyroid, caused him to be big . . . at one point he weighed over 300 lbs . . . he decided he wanted to join the military, worked out twice a day, dropped down to about 210, and has recently completed boot camp for the Navy and is currently in Tech School . . . after watching him, I tend to turn a deaf ear to excuses about problems, because physical activity can cure what is not a disease.
