why are you even giving these people any coverage, let alone a banner headline?

but let's get Sarah Palin off the front pages of the news. period.

why...why, why, Salon, do you keep putting that ghastly woman's face on the front of your website?

IGNORE HER.

also, crappy article.

what the hell.

get her face off your site.

she is the headline every day.

put her on page B or C or whatever.

anything but this.

holy christ.

no "Milk"?

no "Let The Right One In"?

No "Slumdog Millionaire"?

that said i'm glad you got "The Visitor" on there. great one.

this troubled kid does not need a step-parent who does not want them. your concerns are real, but the end result is you should leave this situation. the child's needs take precedent over anything else, PERIOD. that should make it relatively easy for you.

you state in your first paragraph that you are basically prejudiced against Miyazaki's work.

right away, that means you should not be the one reviewing it.

i feel like this piece was just written to bait. is this for real?

i think you are idiotic to feed your son's obsessions. i was the same when i was a kid; very violence-obsessed. my liberal parents basically did nothing either way about toy guns in our house, and now i loathe guns and anything related to them. i think they should be banned utterly. impossible, of course, but there it is. there is no lesson there.

most likely it would make no difference if you continue the way you do, but maybe it will err on the side of making things worse.

more than anything your piece just made me incredibly depressed. sad. weary.
