This is one of my favorite rants. It's yet more delicious fallout from America's asshat preoccupation with feeling good about ourselves with absolutely no corresponding effort or accomplishment. We're special, just the way we are. We can do anything we put our minds to - IQ & physical ability are equal in us all. We all deserve trophies & medals. There are no winners or losers because we all tried hard!
You can't tell kids they're fat because you might hurt their (my all-time most despised & loathed words in the English language when placed together) *shudder* "self-esteem."
