I've realized something in the past few days from browsing through the letters on salon.com: I'm not so sure I like people. So many people seem eager to spew hate over an article like this, and I'm not. But I do feel a disgusting level of hatred after reading some of the responses. Let's hate on people who dare to reproduce, let's hate on frumpy women, let's hate on sexually demanding men, let's hate on doctors and babies and editors and self-absorbed writers.
I pay for Salon, too, and I'd prefer it didn't have such a strong whiff of blog, because I can read those for free. That's not to say that I wouldn't have enjoyed a blog entry just like this one, though. And I appreciate the spectrum of opinions an article like this might bring up. But they seem so often to be expressed with such hatred. Are salon.com readers such bitter people? Thank God for free speech, so we can all learn what jerks people can be.
