[Read the article: The dark legacy of Carlos Castaneda]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]This is the kind of piece I hope for when I log onto Salon over my morning coffee. Regardless of how I feel about the content, per se, it was an engrossing read and well-written. Depth! I realized it's been a long time since I savored something like this on Salon, and too long in between savorings. I blame the terrorists, and our own terrorist in chief, I suppose.
When I saw the piece was 4 pages long, I got up and turned off MSNBC to devote my full concentration in silence. Not that I sacrificed anything but the non-stop Don Imus Breaking Non-News Fest, this season's Anna Nicole Breaking Non-News Fest. Would someone please tell Prince von Sharpton this baby is not his?

OH...NO...Joan...
[Read the article: A new low in Clinton bashing]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Salon has been my home page for many years, and I've always been happily surprised to see you show up on cable news shows. Tonight, on Hardball, I hardly recognized you. I mistook you for Lanny Davis.
How is it that you are so certain that the Clintons are not amoral, power-mad narcissists? How is it that so many of us who used to (sort of) admire them, or at the very least, not abhor and revile them, have changed our minds over the last year?
I take no joy in stating that you, like Bill and Hill, have taken a long tumble down from whatever perch of respect, admiration and fondness you once occupied in my little life. (Actually, I had far more for you, having never forgiven Bill for Monica et al and Hill for enabling him, to say the least, in his infidelities and LIES.) I know this won't affect or trouble you at all, but it does affect and trouble me. Salon.com has been such a mainstay in my daily life. I have this sicky, icky feeling that the comfort, intelligence and sanity I used to find here are no more.
I am, frankly, stunned at the voracious defense you waged on their behalf.
And so, so saddened.
