When you say you are wrong you don't start by explaining it.

You say I said this and the truth was this.

This is the worst yet from JW.

Would have been better to just let it go.

Buying any car that gets less then 30MPG is just a bad idea.

When oil prices come back or the money continues to run out you will regret that vehicle.

Unless you have clear commercial needs it is just wrong regardless of the up front cost.

But there really are no good cars. They just don't design them to hit a real fuel number but still be useful. They are all designed to pass people at 80 going up hill into the wind.

We need people movers. Heck you could have gotten a sprinter van with 3 rows of seats for a little more and had way better gas millage. But maybe those aren't legal in cali....

You seem to have become the key media critic. Maybe things can change?

Having just gone through this process as a father that did all the right things I would say that the angst here is very real and that only having these crazy people expressing it is bad. There is still a very real imbalance between mothers rights and faters rights. Even when the mother's behavior is totally unapropriate there is still a huge amount of leverage and uncertanty for a father to go to trial. I could afford the lawyers fees but many men can't and I am pretty sure I would have lost my daughter completely by her mothers actions with not acusations of abuse of any kind. I think the tone of this article is part of the issue. Clearly abuse can be real. But I have known completly non-abusive fathers that have been falsely acused with only finacial motivations behind the acuser. There is truth that many groups and women are tone deaf inrelation to fathers rights. The truth is that is it generally excepted by our culture that fathers will be providers and not care givers in divided families. All the structures lead to there still.

Abuse is the outlier. It needs to be handled seriously be all invovled. False acusations need to be prevented. Abuse needs to be prevented. These should be the goal of all parties.

These are extremely difficult things to talk about without seeming like you are on the fringe. While my daugther had been kid napped away from me I remember looking online for support groups. The truth is most are so nutty they aren't useful. I chose not to go there but I could see someone having not other options end up right there with the them.

These groups don't have to be anti women but in truth in this area women's rights are far more secure then men's.

Salon needs user selectable filters on comments... There will be no good dicussion as long as we have to read through the crazies. I want to read them once. Then check block forever if they are nuts. Or at least for the duration of the thread.
