Letters to the Editor

What is going on here????
I read Salon and enjoy the intelligent discussion in response to articles. But this has degenerated into... some sort of mud fight. What's with the one line retorts? I don't even recognize half of the writers here. Does anyone ever re-read what they wrote? (Does anyone have a job and a family to spend time with? I can't keep up with every article.)
I just read a transcript of Hillary Clinton's response to reporters about the housing crisis. She knows every detail about what is going on. There were a lot of ums and ers, but so what? She's not a good speaker. She has the brains to deal with all the complexities of this sad world. She has maturity (a word unheard of here, perhaps better than experience). Do you think, after being first lady for 8 years, with an intellect such as hers, that she didn't say to herself, I can do better? Is she power hungry? Yes, because one needs power to make change, and she sees that our country needs change. Why do you think she is working so hard to be president? Come on, being president is no picnic. Just look at GWB, he can't wait until he is freed from his job. She knows that she can help this country and I believe her.
Maybe some of the Obama supporters should re-read his books. Compassion and seeing another's point of view, gentle debate. You don't have to stomp on Hillary to show support for him. They are different enough that their qualities can be debated in a civil manner. I will support either of them in the general election.
If Mccain wins, we have only ourselves to blaim.
