Being myself is a right I fully defend even in the face of the war on fat, age, gray hair, etc. I am not PC and don't try to be. I say what I think about things and my opinions are not always popular but I don't care. I think people try to imitate others because they don't know how to develop into the person they are meant to be. There are too many 'role model' issues because everyone is trying to hard to be the role model instead of learn from it. A present day role model is a person who has their outside parts to near perfection but the sad truth is they can't spell, read directions, add and subtract without a calculator, etc. I have often enjoyed a laugh when I hear people defend their right to be an individual but they turn around and buy the same jeans everyone else has bought. Whatever.
