Sharon
Ariel Sharon is in the hospital after suffering a massive stroke. It is all over the news and my re-stating the obvious is no big deal. However, given that this is a "Sports" site and does deal with physical actions and activity, including exercise, I have to make an observation: The man was seriously, seriously overweight. Just like with many obese Americans, there are consequences to not exercising, eating poorly and generally not taking care of one's body. I don't know all of his history, but he has been fat for many years. That sort of problem has bad results, like massive heart attacks. When someone spends their entire life smoking, gets lung cancer and is on the verge of death, one can feel sorry, but you also have to think that the person either had a death wish or was a bit of an idiot. What in the world did everyone expect?
