Get Rielle

The life of John Edwards flame Rielle Hunter has been a novel, literally, with Bolivian marching powder, movie scripts called "It's All About Uranus" and electrocuted horses.

    Just thoughts!

    It seems like a lot of people hate infidelity and take it personally when someone of Edwards's ilk screws up like this. It is really no one's business but Elizabeth Edwards. This will bring more pain to her than her chemo and diagnosis. Some things in life are very painful and this is one of them. Her ability to forgive and continue with her life is very admirable. Again, she is a strong woman and knows how she wants to spend her time on this planet. Judging her makes no sense. How many of us know what real death begins to feel/look when you know your destiny is short? We all know that everyday we die, but with the consumerism and religious frenzy in the USA, we somehow think that we will escape...Elizabeth Edwards knows she will not and her time is limited.

    Why do other people throw up about errors in human behavior when they do not even know the people? We are an odd bunch!

    I still like John Edwards. He is just a human with poor judgement and a great haircut. He ruined her political life, but he is still a father and husband. Also, I gave to his campaign...I don't care about my money going for his mistress...I have better things to think about...shouldn't we all?

    America, get over yourself. Time is relentless.
