How many fast food places do you people need? St. Mary's does not exactly have the most healthy population.
Dear CalvertActiv,
Well, bless your little heart! It is so sweet for you to be so concerned about the entire population of St. Mary's county. I am a little concerned however, about how you chose to communicate your concern. A wise person once told me to avoid using the phrase "you people". For some obscure reason, the use of that phrase immediately sets people up to be defensive. I do believe that it might have something to do with an unspoken message that the speaker of that phrase feels superior to the person(s) to whom they are speaking. In looking at your user name, I am assuming that a healthy and active life is important to you. Reading your post leads me to believe that you think that it is important for others to feel the same way that you do about the importance of a healthy and active life. For this reason, I would encourage you to think a bit before you post so you have time to choose your words wisely, lest you be accused of being a pretentious, know-it-all idiot. By doing so, you will be able to present more of a positive message in your postings on topics such as this.
Sincerely,
Twin
