the great white whine
It seems like everyone who writes a piece for Salon seems to have majored in naval gazing at college. I have no sympathy for these writers (who are usually published novelists and have supposedly supportive spouses and enough money to do whatever they want - boo hoo) who whine endlessly about their problems. Yes, you have problems. So do we all. Try telling them to an inner city single mom and see how much sympathy you get. Try telling that to someone whose problems revolve around getting enough to eat and semi-adequate health care. Your problem is that your kids eat too much Capt. Crunch and play in a fenced in yard? You make me sick. At least your kids have a home with a place to play and enough to eat.
I'm sorry, but Salon seems to feature some of the most shallow pieces on what middle class to upper middle class consider serious problems. Puh-leeze. Realize how lucky you are and limit your whining to your group of equally privileged friends.
