If you're pro-life...
[Read the article: Can you be both pro-life and a feminist?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]You'd damn well better be a HUGE supporter of birth control. Emphasize condom and pill awareness and availability from a young age, and fewer abortions will be needed.
Unfortunately, it seems like pro-lifers don't often take that approach. They want abortion banned, birth control access limited, abstinence-only education enforced. And somehow they think that this combination will produce a generation of happy young women who don't give birth until they're ready.

Jesus, another cocktail party allusion

The importance of this movie
[Read the article: Bill Maher vs. the "talking snake"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]There hasn't been a truly mainstream piece of anti-religion media in ages. Agnostics like me and Bill Maher help make up a huge but mostly silent group who have been made to sit quietly while others trumpet their pro-God views loudly and, often, obnoxiously. This film tells those people NOT to confuse our silence for agreement. We, too, have a voice now, and the truth is on our side -- truth meaning facts, not that sacrosanct but unprovable concept of Truth -- and it's hard to imagine a more important time in history to make a case against organized religion.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Microsoft will deposit $3 million in seized African government funds in your account if you give them a $5,000 advance payment and some personal information.

I call foul.
[Read the article: Palin uses Ayers, Wright to attack Obama]

How is this guy not ahead by 20-30 points?
[Read the article: Have yourself an Election Eve cry]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It boggles the mind. This is one of the most effective presidential candidates either party has produced in decades, and he's still had to work overtime to edge out a mean, borderline senile guy who picked an airhead for a running mate.
I don't get America sometimes. Sigh... I guess that means it's time to pal around with some terrorists. Catch you kids later.
