Reality Check
[Read the article: After my husband died of cancer I found he'd been cheating]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Ok, he did something really crappy, but let's check the facts - he had a cyber affair and cyber sex but only physically met up with her once.
There is no doubt he was a jerk in this case, but I bet there were thousands of things he did right. Vacations were had, children were born and nurtured, he had a career and supported his family ... he loved you and the kids. He married you. You know what he did with her? He used her to get his rocks off for about two years and he only bothered to meet her in person once. Who knows if he was really going to meet up with her again. Even if he was, their visits were incredibly few and far between.
You are raw from the loss of him now. Your emotions - I can only imagine how crazy and huge they must feel. But in the end allow yourself to feel this truth - you were his wife, the woman he loved and with whom he chose to make a family and a life. She was no more meaningful than a porn site to him, unworthy even of regular in-person visits. In other words, she was nothing. You and the children were everything.

Keep Counting her Out

But What About the Children?
[Read the article: The whole "working mother" thing actually works]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I agree, that's usually an inane, histrionic refrain, but since we are actually talking about childcare it's relevant here.
This isn't about mommy or daddy. We assume that they brought forth children because they wanted to create a family and nurture and guide children, not just because they felt they were "supposed to" have kids or for other awful reasons. So how do the children feel about not seeing either parent for a majority of their childhoods?
Why have kids if being away from them makes you happier than being with them?

Great!
[Read the article: Stop junk mail for good]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Now please tell me how I get "them" to stop throwing those stupid advertising circulars in my driveway. I have no interest in them and throw them out directly. What a waste.

Picking up my Jaw
[Read the article: Why do Republicans hate puppies?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Somehow it all fits with the whole Republican "let them eat cake" attitude, but even these stories are beyond belief. Do these people really have no compassion at all for other living beings?
May they all be reincarnated as dogs belonging to Republicans.

Einstein
[Read the article: The atheist delusion]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Einstein did not believe in a "personal God". He did not believe that God was involved in daily life or performed miracles. I like that because it always makes me cringe when you hear people praying to win a football game or claiming that someone was saved by God. I mean, what about all the other people that didn't make it through a tragedy? Did God want them dead or something? Maybe he didn't like them.
On the other hand, Einstein did believe in a "God who reveals Himself in the harmony of all that exists." There is somethere there folks. I have personally thought that this was evident in the way that planets revolve around the sun and the way electrons revolve around the nucleus. Is this pattern just there by accident?
Is evolution really beyond the power of a Creator? Maybe it's the Bible that is untrue and evolved to control humanity and it has nothing to do with God.
Einstein is not a prophet, but I think we can all agree that he was the most brilliant scientist of the 20th century. Here is what he had to say about the arrogance of atheism which is evident in these responses:
"I'm not an atheist. I don't think I can call myself a pantheist. The problem involved is too vast for our limited minds. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn't know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God. We see the universe marvelously arranged and obeying certain laws but only dimly understand these laws."
If Al couldn't figure it out, I don't think anyone here has either.

It's not Obama
[Read the article: Which Democrat is a winner?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The Pukes will swift boat Obama to death over the youthful experimentation with cocaine. While his use may not mean anything to those of us on the coasts, it's a big deal in more socially conservative places. These are people whose panties still bunch up over a joint.
What they can possibly do to Hillary that they haven't already done? Trash her family? Call her vicious names? Imply that she's a lesbian?
And this sad little meme that says Hill is hated all over the country is pure puke bullshit. They said she'd never win New York because of the upstate conservatives. Up around, say, Binghamton, the state changes a lot and she won them over by going up there on her "Listening Tour" and talking directly to the people. All the pukes calling her "Mrs. Clinton" in a sneering tone, calling her carpetbagger, and trying to take her power away failed. This candidate is tough as nails, has tasted the most bitter abuse that the Media Hate Machine has to dish out, and has what it takes to see this campaign through.
Hillary Clinton is it, my friends.
