Hey, I'm a white guy and I don't agree with anything Don Imus said. What he did was terrible. Imagine if those girls were your sister or your daughter. Wouldn't we be outraged? I'd want to punch Don Imus in the mouth and smash him down to the curb. He is lucky he got off so easily.

I liked very much what Keillor said about the president. This man has to go. He is murdering people on a daily basis who never did a thing to us. We are the bad guys in this situation. We are wearing the black hat. We have become the Nazis in a bad movie. I cannot stand being part of the bad guys. It makes me ill. I have written dozens of letters to my senators and congressman, I have marched in peace protests at the capitol, I have spoken to anybody who wants to listen. I don't know what else to do. I wish we had a parlimentary system so we could get rid of this loser.

Where is my country? I want my country back.

I think it is time to apply the same standards to health insurance that auto insurers use in order to provide an economic insentive for people to lose weight. For example, if you stay trim you might pay $50 per month for health insurance but if you are fat (like a bad driver) you would pay $500 per month for health insurance.

Also, doctor should simply start saying, okay, if you don't want to lose weight then we are not going to give you any medicine. The fear of death would also serve as a good motivator to lose weight.

You forgot to mention the hundreds of thousands of Iraqis we have murdered. It is not just 3,600 American soldiers, not to mention 2,000 contractors and 20,000 seriously wounded. We have become the bad guys. Are any of you, like me, horrified at being the bad guys? I don't like wearing the black hat, I don't like being Darth Vader. Yet that is what we have become indeed, by our actions. We have to make this president and vice-president resign. Now.

I like this article because it makes me think.

One thing I have always had trouble with is the idea that there is a beautiful design in the universe. If we look a the earth, where every living creature is designed to kill other living creatures, in order to survive, it is a bit nauseating to me. Even if we only eat plants we are still killing living things. Killing and being killed seems to be the most disgusting law of the universe and yet, if we don't do it, we are condemmed to immediate death, sooner, rather than later.

This fact, being the nature of life itself, is appalling. Yet there is no choice. We are what we are and cannot escape it, just like a bird or a single-celled creature does not have a choice in being what it is.

If there is a God, he is certainly not perfect. One look at creation and what is around us obviously confirms that. I think men have tried to make God perfect. The reality is this: if there is a God, he is full of errors. Errors on a mammoth scale.

On the other hand, if one believes in God, and one accepts the idea that God is not perfect, then everything makes sense. All the unexplained horrible things that happen make sense. Because God makes mistakes, and lots of them.

We cannot escape our nature. The only choice is to go forward with life, as long as we have it.

Wow, the letters to this article are amongst the best I have read. I wish I could read all of them except my boss might get mad!

I like the one from the guy from Singapore (Grik) when he mentioned that where he grew up nobody is hampered by all these strange beliefs in a supernatural being. I have come across this with almost all of my Asian friends, and I know a lot! They are not saddled with God beliefs and find our dogma and rules to be very incomprehensible. We Westerners presume everybody believes in God. It simply is not so. There are more tham a billion Chinese who don't, along with Thais, Vietnamese and a bunch of others.

I find most of them to be so much more easy going, once you make friends, then Westerners who are full of faith.

My Christian and Muslim friends want to believe that the non-believers must be depressed with nothing to hope for. Nope, that's not what I find when talking to my Asian pals. And I've brought it up quite often. In fact, they look at me and wonder why I am even bringing up the topic. It doesn't compute with them. They think it is strange to even discuss it.

It is refreshing to be with them.
