The mother of a new member of our family puts chopped hard boiled eggs in turkey gravy. Is this peculiar to this family or do other people do it?

I read the article and thought it was well written and interesting. I don't feel the world will expire if I skip giving an opinion of it. So why all the hateful, smart-assed or smarmy responses by some of the readers? Why is it that some readers see every article as an opportunity to present an [anti-author, anti-liberal, anti-feminist] diatribe? You probably know what you write is neither helpful nor enlightening and you don't care because that isn't the point for you. But do you know that people generally write you off as not having an opinion worth hearing?

Hey, its a lovely spring day. Get off the computer - walk the dog, plant a rose bush, donate to the local food bank, invite friends over for dinner, volunteer for your favorite candidate, look for a new job, paint the front door, call your Mom. Get something positive in your life so the rest of us don't have to wonder what your problem is.

(As a girl, Goldstein was taught that Spinoza wickedly equated God with nature, when Jews and Christians agreed that God is supernatural, outside of nature, and a person.)

I don't read the sentence as a description of what Laura Miller believes, but rather that Goldstein was taught it as an example of why Spinoza is bad.

but you've put up with this behavior for 40 years and I fear that writing the letters will take another 40. Set a goal to write the letters over a single weekend and be done with your birth family's curse.

I love Stephanie Zacharek's review. I'm sitting here in cubicle of a multi-national company that just gave us miniscule raises while trumpeting that they are one of the most profitable companies in the US and I'm laughing out loud reading this review. It is a beautiful day but I'm skipping the yard work, the walk around the lake, and my dog's need for exercise because I'm going to the movie and expect to have a fabulous time. Thanks Stephanie.

Break's over - back to work!

I understand Joan Walsh's frustration, but Salon writers have got to learn to take a deep breath and ignore some people who don't deserve the energy you expend on them. People like Flanagan are elitists and scam artists and should be treated as such. When she stomps her little feet to get our attention the best thing to do is ignore her. It works with kids and dogs so maybe it will work with crazy anti-feminists as well.

So do you think pro-life George Bush sees US soldiers and the citizens of Iraq as intrinsically souled? He's gotten enough of them killed so I guess he sees them as tissue and not humanity. That goes as well for the religious conservatives who never met a war or polluter or radical capitalist they didn't like but rant against abortion, gays, feminism and liberals. I guess for them humanity only matters when a woman has some control over one aspect of that within her body. The rest of humanity is just so much fodder for them.
