There are loud people, stinky people, rude people, crazy people, criminal people...whatever. Welcome to living. Obese people don't like that they're fat. It's hard enough on them and sometimes they have a medical condition or genetic reason for the obesity. (I am not talking about myself.) I would rather sit next to a clean fat person than a smelly skinny person. I think they airlines offering the service should accomdate. Sorry.

Spoken like a true RAT. Let Southwest decide what their own policies are -- if you don't like those policies, don't fly Southwest. It's a head-shaking wonder how 'conservatives' rally against companies who want to enforce their own policies.

Fat people who overflow deserve to pay for the inconvenience they pass on to the people sitting next to them. If Southwest wants to have that as their policy, so be it.

Will you start a new political action group, Conservatives Against Private Businesses Making Their Own Rules?

If Southwest loses enough ticket sales because of the policy, they'll change it. If they don't, it's an economically viable and popular policy. In the meantime, this morbidly obese individual is doubtless checking the back covers of phone books so she can enlist the aid of the state in getting a coerced result.
