If Great White Male is on the plane to Bangkok, I suggest an apology to the women over there. "Sorry ladies, we have lots of losers and they just won't stay home with the low air fares and all."

Is being a racist and misogynist suposed to be a turn-on?

Have you ever had a date???

When I read such total drivel all I can think is what planet are you on that women have allegedly treated you this way?

I'm an American woman (biracial) and married for 13 years. The "reality" you and a vocal few others on this thread speak to simply doesn't exist for anyone I know. No one. Given that I have a successful family and, clearly, you do not, the question should be, "what are YOU doing wrong to alienate American women?"

As for Asian women, what can I say? I really thought those degrading racist beliefs had died off. Thanks to the Internet, I can see that they haven't. I'm appalled. I guess women of All ethnicities still have their work cut out for them.

And racist and sexist too.

It's been a long time since I've read so many letters full of contempt and fear of women in general. I strongly question whether some of these posters have any relationships at all outside of a blow up doll.

I've been as busy and harrried as the next person, but I don't understand how you can FORGET to drop your child at daycare. Both my husband and I take our son to and from preschool and on numerous trips and errands. I actually look at my back seat when I am preoccupied and driving because I think I STILL have my son with me. It's the logical place for him to be. I feel terrible for the dad but he really deserves some blame. A baby suffocating in a hot car is completely avoidable.

Maybe this is an issue for a public serve announcement of some kind: Always check your rear car seat for the baby. Kind of like "click it or ticket."

I give you kudos for sitting for that debate with a moron. It can't be easy to be rational when the other side simply won't be confused by facts. You're right, Guantanamo should be closed. The U.S. is more than capable of handling terrorists.

I think the bottom line is that many are afraid of more horror stories like Boumediene coming to light. They also are fearful that the governmen simply won't be able to meet its burden of proof against some individuals. In this country, molesters and murderers occasionally walk because the prosecution can't meet its burden of proof. If we can live with that in our very midst, I guess we can live with sending those we cannot legally imprison back to where they came from.

I am totally confused by Wolf & TCF. Angelina Jolie is a tall, thin, gorgeous and very privileged actress with more money than God. That's why she can make the choices she does. Give me millions and I'll have it all too.

Another poster pointed it out before, but subsidized childcare is the norm in Scandinavia and some other European countries. In Sweden, it is nothing short of excellent. Yes, it raises some taxes. However, it also virtually guarantees that all children going to elementary school, will have had access to similar educational experiences. As a teacher, I can assure you that while taxes are higher, the costs to the U.S in poor quality and slipshod early childcare easily outweighs the investments Swedes make. It's time we demonstrated our alleged care for children by INVESTING in them. And yes, heallthcare reform is needed as well. A tough to-dolist but long overdue.

The only way to avoid these situations is for the state to help parents send their children to professional daycare facilities. The nanny situation in the U.S., due to its frequently-off-the-books status, lends itself to abuse. That's what happpens when no one is seriously looking.

I'm glad this book was written but it really is just the tip of the iceberg. Taking care of children shouldn't just rest on the shoulders of stressed families. If you're Madonna, hire at a high salary as many nannies as you want for each of your kids so you never have to WORK at parenting. The middle-class to poor need help accessing professional care. Let's stop trying to take care f children on the cheap. It doesn't work very well.

Is Barack Obama's conduct so egregious or is David Sirota simply not living in the real world? I suggest the latter. In case he hasn't noticed, we have a global finiancial crisis and two wars to contend with right now. Most of what has happened (or failed to occur) has been the outcropping of political expedience: Selecting battles based on what can be DONE, not argued over for several more months.

The idea that Obama should slight Clinton after a bruising primary only goes to show how foolish Sirota's complaints are. Clinton has many political allies and can help Obama. Why in the world would he alienate her in such a public way?

Tackling NAFTA. Really, now is the time when markets are roiling and nations are blaming one another for the crisis?

Last but not least, the Cuba embargo. Instead of starting a long and bitter fight, Obama finds a compromise that (importantly) most Cuban-Americans can live with and actually helps Cubans.

I may not be perfectly thrilled with everything Obama has done, but I give him credit for ACTION. Haven't we had enough of do-nothing administrations?
