These responses are so hateful and mean
[Read the article: Amma's cosmic squeeze]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I'm cynical yet I find something very appealing and kind about Amma. The responses here just make me clearly see how awful our lives have become in the 21st century. I will bet that the most negative poster here could use an Amma hug. I know I could use an Amma hug and feel the embrace of something that makes me feel like I'm not just a meat puppet trudging through a meaningless life in an indifferent universe.

Dear Christian do gooder
[Read the article: I feed the poor but eat with the rich]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]A Pill? Yes, you are indeed being a pill. Why do you care whether these people like to go out to brunch afterwards? If you are so sanctimonious I suggest you let them go to their brunch and you can go sit with the homeless clients. That way you can pretend you are more righteous, Christian, and of course spiritual than your fellow Christians while they enjoy a little camraderie and a little brunch.

Maybe next week you can feature The 18 best people in the world...Jewish ones of course.
[Read the article: The 18 best Jewish ballplayers of all time]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Those Jews are just so amazingly clever. My Gosh, it's a good thing there is a self congratulatory feature story every other week reminding me of this. Otherwise I might forget!

Dear annonoymous and tangerine
[Read the article: Baby's first lead]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Why such antipathy for mothers? Tangerine, why do you assume mother's (I happen to be one) voted for Bush and the "Daddy" party? Annonymous, why do you assume we all have nannies? I suspect both of you are twenty-somethings that still get a kick out of sneering at adults and accusing them of being middle class. Don't worry it's not a permanent condition, it goes away after 30 sometimes 35.
One day you have children, stop naval staring, and quit wasting your energy on being outraged at the unfairness, depravity, and poverty of the world. I can't put an end to the unfairness, depravity, and poverty of the world. The only power I have is the power to try to bring my child up safely and to become (I hope) an adjusted adult that isn't easy prey for jingoistic reactionaries.

Mr. Deering

BTW Mr. Deering...it''s always Mom's fault!
[Read the article: Baby's first lead]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Do you really think all those "Security Moms" are reading Salon? I mean, come on now. Lighten up. Stop mis-directing your anger about the election. Funny how men love to blame women. Of Course it's OUR fault! It is our fault when they can't marry, it's our fault when they marry the wrong person, it's our fault when they shoot up the campus, it's our fault when they can't connect, it's our fault when they order their steak well done when we always told them to order it rare. Just shut up. Mom told you to too!

Best friends wirh an ex?!
[Read the article: We broke up after four years -- but he moved on so fast!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Never works. Only the young and the immature claim it is possible. LW, move home! By the time you are 32 this relationship will be meaningless. I say this at the risk of being sensored by Salon for being offensive. I'm certainly not trying to offend. Salon might think otherwise.

What kind of wedding doesn't have any children?
[Read the article: I want a perfect wedding, but my in-laws are trashy]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]No children are allowed at your wedding? No ring bearer? No Flower Girl? No trashy relatives are allowed? No one is allowed to drink too much and fall during the Chicken Dance? What about the underage drinkers that throw up in the bathroom? Aren't they allowed? What about the DJ that you asked not to do anything corny announces the Mr. and Mrs. with the theme song from the Price is Right? All of these things happened at my wedding and I didn't plan it, and all the money and petulance in the world wouldn't have prevented it. It happens, and you know what? It's funny, and it's fun, and it's the nature of weddings. Do yourself and everyone around you a favor and lighten up.

It's not her body we hate...it was her indifference
[Read the article: Guilty of murder or seeming unmatronly?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]We don't hate her because she is beautiful, we hate her because she went out to dinner and was so selffish she couldn't be bothered to even get a babysitter. I'm sorry, she is a horrible mother and the rest of her children ought to be taken from her. If she were black and left her children alone she would probably be in jail.

Christian fundamentalists, anti-abortionists, wingnuts and animal freaks
[Read the article: Ellen, the dog bullies and me]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Are basically all cut from the same cloth. These animal right's activists are extremists of the same sort as the religious wingnut variety, don't be fooled by their liberal patina, these people would like to run your life as much as any follower of Jerry Falwell or Osama Bin Laden. I have two declawed cats and a fur coat. What do you suppose these people would do to me if they had their druthers? These people are no different from the Khmer Rouge, Stalinists, Jihadists, Christian fundies, KKK, Confederates, and any other radical group that seeks to impose it's morality on everyone else.
