    Speaking as a single mom working 2 jobs...

    "I honor those single moms working two jobs…why don’t we pay her more in welfare and less to the crack whores that spit out babies just to get more food stamps. You speak of morality, but that is what is void in today’s society. If you are really looking for a way to “fix” our economy…try praying to the God that our founding fathers prayed to.

    -- bobisfat "

    I'm not impressed by bob's so-called respect. After he managed to eliminate "crack whores that spit out babies just to get more food stamps" (I tried to stop at "crack whores", but the whole phrase persisted) I'm fairly certain that the likes of him would be coming after me next.

    I haven't yet read all letters (12 pages, dude!) but I really felt that those two sentences should be held up for more ridicule.

    Because, apparently, (I'm on topic) bob's "fix", after slut-shaming proves inadequate... is to pray for a solution.

    Andrew, could you possibly switch names to the top of letters? Just to save certain over-worked eyes from the blatant waste of time?
