I consider myself fairly libertarian on most issues and I'm afraid I simply can't see the value system being applied to hams at all. To clarify, I'm applying this to the common concept of "you leave me alone, I'll leave you alone."  Hams may say they wanna be left alone to their blubbery ways, but they're always begging for attention and being leeches (whether publicly or privately) in order to fund their never-ending diets. Instead of leaving you to your notions of disgust, they want to force you to accept them and fund their lifestyles, even to the point of using government force to compel it. A fat's attitude is basically "let me do what I want, but everyone else has to do what I want." That's closer to marxism and eventually (as you correctly hit upon) socialism.
